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 head out on the road to square off against Westland at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 48.18
While Westerville North might've come up empty on Friday, Jonathan Stevens wasn't going down without a fight. Despite the loss, Stevens was still balling out 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.
Gamescore: 41.17
London Vickroy Delivers Best Effort of Season
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 match 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's next contest is against Franklin Heights on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.
Gamescore: 27.50
Jackson Posts Huge Game in 32-31 Loss
The second Westerville North player making an appearance here is Ronald Jackson, and for good reason. He rushed for 91 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, and also threw for 186 yards on 13 of 23 attempts.
Jackson and Westerville North will head out to square off against Worthington Kilbourne at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Jackson will face off against Jackson Szabo, the Wolves' star signal caller. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.

Caleb Rowe Makes It Two for Hayes

This season, Rowe has averaged 127.1 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 0.25 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 60.5 rushing yards.
