Football Corbin REMAINS at No. 5 in Class 4A RPI
The Redhounds sit just behind Highlands, with schedule-strength numbers that compare favorably with the teams at the top.
Corbin is firmly in the top five of Kentucky’s Class 4A football RPI standings and the gap to fourth is small.
The Redhounds stand No. 5 with a .68381 RPI and a 5–2 record in the latest standings. Highlands holds the fourth spot at .68870, putting Corbin just .00489 behind the Bluebirds.
Unbeaten Paducah Tilghman leads the class at .79446, followed by undefeated Ashland Blazer at .77566. Boyle County is third at .74059 with a 6–1 record.
For Corbin, the numbers offer a clear takeaway: the Redhounds’ standing reflects more than their own win-loss record. The competition on their schedule carries weight, too.
Corbin’s opponents’ winning percentage, listed as OWP, is .64144. That is higher than the corresponding figures for both Boyle County (.63583) and Highlands (.62435). Among the current top five, only Ashland Blazer (.68766) and Paducah Tilghman (.65822) have higher marks.
The next layer of the schedule also favors Corbin. The Redhounds’ opponents’ opponents’ winning percentage, or OOWP, is .61888—the highest among the top five teams.
Those two figures help explain why Corbin sits ahead of several teams with better overall records. North Oldham is 7–1 but ranks sixth. Nelson County and Warren East are both 6–1 and sit 11th and 16th, respectively. The standings account for the broader schedule picture, making a team’s record only part of the story.
Here is how the Class 4A top 10 stacks up:
| Rank | Team | Record | RPI |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Paducah Tilghman | 7–0 | .79446 |
| 2 | Ashland Blazer | 8–0 | .77566 |
| 3 | Boyle County | 6–1 | .74059 |
| 4 | Highlands | 6–2 | .68870 |
| 5 | Corbin | 5–2 | .68381 |
| 6 | North Oldham | 7–1 | .63164 |
| 7 | Elizabethtown | 5–2 | .61925 |
| 8 | Spencer County | 6–2 | .61470 |
| 9 | Logan County | 5–2 | .60610 |
| 10 | Greenup County | 5–2 | .60593 |
Corbin’s position is considerably closer to fourth than sixth. While Highlands is less than five thousandths of a point ahead, North Oldham trails the Redhounds by .05217.
That is a useful snapshot of where Corbin stands, though it does not guarantee where the Redhounds will finish. With results still to come across the state, the numbers can change as Corbin and the teams connected to its schedule complete more games.
For now, the Redhounds have a top-five position, a strong schedule profile and fourth place within reach. The opportunity is there. The next step is to keep winning.
