INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – For the first time ever, AC’s ‘Top 8’ became a Top 10 this week as so many student sections around Central Indiana featured amazing crowds on Friday night.

As the high school football regular season nears its end, many schools around the area made a strong case for consideration in the season-long battle for the 2023 WISH-TV The Zone Banner presented by Crew Carwash and Bailey & Wood Mortgage Lenders.

WISH-TV Sports Director Anthony Calhoun released his Top 10 student sections following week 7!

These schools stood out and are in contention to win the undisputed top spirit award to display in their school gymnasium.

Congratulations to the following schools, listed alphabetically:
