Ohio Capital - Capital 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!
Caleb Rowe Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Hayes had to settle for second even though Caleb Rowe put up the best numbers he has all season. Rowe threw for 336 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes.
For the year, Rowe has thrown 14 touchdowns while averaging 150.3 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging two rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 54.78 rushing yards.

Akih Came Up Big in Hayes' 48-28 Loss
Favour Akih's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his ninth-straight game with 117+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He picked up 74 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 117 yards. He showed off some serious burst, connecting on a big catch for 56 yards.
For the year, Akih has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 15.8 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after nine games last season, he was only averaging 14.22 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 181.44 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 27.05
A Constellation of Stars for Hayes
Another Hayes player making an appearance on this list is Garrett Brown. He picked up 102 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Hayes's success: when he posts at least 80 receiving yards the team is 5-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
Brown is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Franklin Heights on Friday. Brown picked up 143 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Falcons duked it out back in October of 2023.
