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!
Favour Akih Goes Supernova in Hayes Victory
Starting off the list is Hayes's Favour Akih, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Akih rushed for 217 yards and three touchdowns. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his eighth straight game with at least 151 rushing yards dating back to last season.
The victory (which was Hayes' third in a row) raised their record to 6-2. Akih and Hayes will venture away from home to take on Westland at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Eden Williams Delivers Best Performance of Season
Sadly, Eden Williams posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Dublin Scioto over Hayes on Friday. Williams rushed for 208 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 12.2 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 89-yard run.
Hayes had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Williams it was a similar story. When Williams last faced the Pacers back in October of 2023, he rushed for 129 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.

While Jonathan Stevens delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Westerville North. Big Walnut had no answer to Stevens as he made seven total tackles.
This year, Stevens has averaged 6.1 total tackles per game and for the season has 2 interceptions. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to seven.
Gamescore: 41.17
Nevin Densel Turns in Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles
Nevin Densel continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 17th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least five total tackles. He turned in his biggest game of the season, making 18 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
This year, Densel has averaged 13.8 total tackles per game.
Gamescore: 28.10
Sadly, London Vickroy posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Westerville South over Westland on Friday. Vickroy wasn't messing around, forcing two fumbles and making nine total tackles (3.0 for loss). The game was his third straight with five or more total tackles.
Westerville South is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-5. Vickroy will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Franklin Heights on Friday.
