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 was the third in a row for Hayes, bringing their record for this year to 6-2. Akih and Hayes are taking a road trip to square off against Westland at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Eden Williams Turns in Season-Best Performance
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.
Hayes's probably not too fond of Williams given he always seems to get the better of them. When Williams last faced the Pacers back in October of 2023, he rushed for 129 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.
Gamescore: 47.45
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 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.
Gamescore: 41.17
Nevin Densel Turns in Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles
Nevin Densel continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 17th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least five total tackles. He made 18 total tackles (1.0 for loss), good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long.
On the season, Densel has averaged 13.8 total tackles per game.
Gamescore: 28.10
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 contest 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 head out to take on Franklin Heights at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
