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!
Caleb Rowe Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Hayes had to settle for second even though Caleb Rowe put up the best numbers he has all season. Rowe threw for 336 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes.
This year, Rowe has thrown 14 touchdowns while averaging 150.3 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging two rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 54.78 rushing yards.

Favour Akih Dazzles in Hayes Loss
Favour Akih's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his ninth-straight game with 117+ rushing yards. He picked up 74 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 117 yards. He was no stranger to the big play, lighting up the secondary with a catch that went for 56 yards.
On the season, Akih has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 15.8 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after nine games last season, he was only averaging 14.22 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 181.44 rushing yards.

A Constellation of Stars for Hayes
Another Hayes player making an appearance on this list is Garrett Brown. He picked up 102 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Hayes's success: when he posts at least 80 receiving yards the team is 5-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
Brown is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Franklin Heights on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Brown saw the Falcons), he picked up 143 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 22.70
Nevin Densel Turns in Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles
Nevin Densel continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 18th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least five total tackles. He made 17 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Dublin Scioto is on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-8. Densel and Dublin Scioto will venture away from home to challenge Westerville North at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Cameron Patterson Puts an End to Westerville South's Losing Streak on Friday
Cameron Patterson helped snap Westerville South's four-game losing streak. Patterson did his part (and then some), picking up two sacks, making five total tackles, and defending a pass for the 'W'. He is becoming a predictor of Westerville South's success: when he posts at least two sacks the team is 2-1 (and 2-4 when he doesn't).
This season, Patterson has averaged 2 total tackles per game and for the season has 4 sacks.
