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 Turns in Season-Best Performance
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 season, 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.

Big Game from Akih As Hayes Fell 48-28
Favour Akih continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his ninth-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 117 rushing yards. He picked up 74 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 117 yards. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 56 yards.
For the year, Akih has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 15.8 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 14.22 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 181.44 rushing yards.

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 has become a key player for Hayes: the team is 5-1 when he posts at least 80 receiving yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
Brown might have his next game, a road matchup with Franklin Heights, circled on his calendar. When Brown last faced the Falcons back in October of 2023, he picked up 143 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Cameron Patterson Puts an End to Westerville South's Losing Streak on Friday
Westerville South's four-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Cameron Patterson.

He is becoming a predictor of Westerville South's success: when he posts at least two sacks the team is 2-1 (and 2-4 when he doesn't).
This year, Patterson has averaged 2 total tackles per game and for the season has 4 sacks.
