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's Big Game Leads Hayes over 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 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 square off against Westland at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 48.18
Westerville North was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Jonathan Stevens did his best to prevent it. Big Walnut had no answer to Stevens as he made seven total tackles.
On the 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
A Season-Best Performance from London Vickroy Leads Westerville South over Westland
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 matchup 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 take on Franklin Heights at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
