Central Buckeye League Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Henry Ohlinger Goes Supernova in Grandview Heights Win
Henry Ohlinger was instrumental in extending Grandview Heights's winning streak to nine on Friday. Ohlinger did his part (and then some), rushing for 250 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 15.6 yards per carry, and also picking up 62 receiving yards and a touchdown for the 'W'. His longest rush was for an incredible 77 yards.
If the past is any indication, Ohlinger could be in store for another big game when he takes on Bishop Rosecrans on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Ohlinger saw the Bishops), he rushed for 248 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries.
Gamescore: 79.88
While Alex Smith delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Bexley. Bishop Ready had no answer to Smith as he picked up 35 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Bexley is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-7. Smith and Bexley will head out on the road to face off against Worthington Christian at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 16.75
Grandview Heights Wins Ninth-Straight Thanks to Owen Nugent
Owen Nugent's big game helped extend Grandview Heights's winning streak to nine on Friday. Nugent turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 51 yards.
Nugent and Grandview Heights will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Bishop Rosecrans at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st. The Bobcats got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Bishops, probably because Nugent had a solid game then too: he picked up 40 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 34 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 12.00
Jack Elliott Makes It Two for Bexley

For the year, Elliott has averaged 8 total tackles per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after nine games last season, he was only averaging 4.44 total tackles per game.
