Ohio Capital - Ohio 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!
Ashton Allen Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, New Albany got the W thanks in part to Ashton Allen playing the best football he has all season. Allen rushed for 147 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, and also picked up 31 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 56 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the season, Allen has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 16.5 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he had three rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to six.
