We’re still working out the final order of the OCVarsity Top Student Sections, but we are ready to reveal the schools that made the final list.

(We’re still looking to add a few more teams, so let us know on Twitter if you think your school be on here. Send your tweets to @ocvarsity.)

We’ll call this our Loud and Proud Crowd – the student sections for boys basketball that show the most energy, passion, support and creativity.

The county’s overall champion and our final list will be revealed online Friday evening.

The defending champion is Canyon, which is again a finalist, along with several other schools that made last year’s OCVarsity Top 10.

This year’s list is being put together based the observations of our reporters and other top local media members, plus input from local coaches, administrators and players.

Make sure you come back Friday to see whose energy, passion and creativity stood out the most this season. (Also, check out our slideshow of some of the great student sections in action.)

Here is the list of finalists (listed in alphabetical order):
