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 Dazzles in Hayes Win
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 win was the third in a row for Hayes, bringing their record for this year to 6-2. Akih and Hayes will venture away from home to take on Westland at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Effort from Eden Williams Leads Dublin Scioto over Hayes
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. His longest rush was for an incredible 89 yards.
Williams must have Hayes' 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.

Westerville North had to settle for second on Friday, but Jonathan Stevens sure wasn't going down easily. Big Walnut had no answer to Stevens as he made seven total tackles.
For the year, 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.

On Friday, Westerville South had to settle for second even though London Vickroy put up the best numbers he has all season. 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 and Westerville South will venture away from home to face off against Franklin Heights at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
