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 Delivers Electric Performance Vs Dublin Scioto
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 head out to face off against Westland at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Eden Williams Delivers Best Effort of Season
Dublin Scioto came up short on Friday despite Eden Williams delivering his best game to date. 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. His longest rush was for an incredible 89 yards.
Williams must have Hayes's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Williams last faced the Pacers back in October of 2023, he rushed for 129 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.

While Westerville North might've come up empty on Friday, Jonathan Stevens wasn't going down without a fight. Despite the defeat, Stevens was still balling out as he made seven total tackles.
For the season, Stevens has averaged 6.1 total tackles per game and for the season has 2 interceptions. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to seven.
