3A RPI Rankings - 2026
That looks to be the case. I don't see Glasgow losing. Ashland plays Lex Cath at the end of the regular season but I would think the Knights win that one.

McCracken County 48 Murray 42
When these two get together, get your popcorn. Congrats to the Mustangs. They finally got over the hump and finished the game on top. Murray had opportunities to go up two scores but couldn't capitalize in the second half. Yes. There were some "questionable' calls, no calls, spots that all went against the Tigers. That's unfortunate! Heard plenty of times, you can't leave it up to the refs. Metchum is as good as advertised! He made a couple incredible catches.

McCracken County 48 Murray 42
Murray and McCracken have played very competitive games two out of the last three years. In 2023, Murray drove down the last 2 mins of the game. Colin Wilson found Zavion Carmen at the back of the endzone with 12 seconds left for a 38-35 win. In 2024, we had hurricane rain and win during the game. The Mustangs were not acclimated to the conditions at Ty Holland coughing the ball 5 times. Murray won 28-12. Last year, a track meet ensued and lasted all 48 mins. At the finish line, the difference was a missed 40+ field goal by the Mustangs right before the half. Murray, again, came out victorious 59-56. Will tomorrow be the same type of game?? McCracken comes in firing on all cylinders offensively. Presswood throws a very catchable ball and he has plenty of skill players around him. Led by Lanier and Matchum, these WRs can turn a 5 yard route into 6 points on any given play. Mustangs average just over 45 ppg. Everyone has mentioned over and over that Murray lost a bunch of production last season. That is true, can't argue that. So how have the Tigers looked so far? Averaging just over 50 points per game thus far. I'd say they are doing just fine. It's the Tiger defense vs the Mustang Air-Raid. McCracken's defense vs the ground and pound Murray Offense. Looks to be a good one.

You are correct. And that should be the goal for everyone currently undefeated. 2nd or 3rd in RPI gives you a chance to get to play at Kroger Field in December.

Lloyd Memorial 38 Campbell County 20
Lloyd was the more complete team last night. They are moving in the right direction.

Lloyd Memorial 38 Campbell County 20
Wishful thinking 😅😂😂 Honestly, from what I've seen so far, Lloyd looked like a better team this time last year. That and @theguru usually doesn't miss in NKY. Saying that, I still see Lloyd in Semis as they have the easiest path to get there. All the heavy hitters in 3A are in the West. Lex Cath, Glasgow, Central, Murray, Bardstown will all be fighting for a spot in Semis. CAL all ready has reservations at Kroger Field.

Owensboro 48 Graves County 7
Graves was also bit by the injury bug early in the season. Not sure if they are at full strength yet but they played much better vs a down Union Co team. Graves switched their OC vs Union Co. They looked more dynamic scoring 35 points in the first half.

Mayfield 56 Crittenden County 7
Running clock in 1st half. Mayfield wins, names the score.

No difference in 3-15???? That's a lot of teams put together. I haven't seen Glasgow play but I hear they have a really good team offensively. Lloyd is playing solid and will only get better as the year goes on. Murray is different this year. They lost a lot of production from last year (Offensively). They looked sloppy vs Graves in week 3. Last year, when they had Wyatt Robbins and Co, Murray scored 48, 50, & 32 vs Apollo, Calloway, & Graves, respectfully. This year, they've won 58, 59, and 25. So last year, they averaged 43 pts their first 3 games. This year, they are averaging 47! I will say two things about this Murray team. 1. When you play the Tigers, strap up your chinstrap because they are a real physical team. OLine and DLine is where their strength lies. Everyone is back on both sides of the ball. 2. When their Qb gets comfortable and consistent with the offense, they will become a real dangerous team. I look at 3A like this. CAL (it's not even close) 3 steps down Lex Cath & Murray. Their game last year was an instant classic! 2 steps down Lloyd & Glasgow. The Scotties will have to play one of the above in the 3rd round, if not CAL. Lloyd should play the winner in semis. Both of these teams will get their change to prove they belong in the 2/3 conversation. Then everyone else.
