NEENAH (NBC 26) — After winning a share of the FVA crown in 2024, the Neenah Rockets football team has some big shoes to fill in 2025.

Junior quarterback Ashton Van Beek has seen playing time on varsity since he was a freshman, patiently waiting for his opportunity to take over as the team's quarterback. Now he gets to do so.

“Last year I just liked helping out,” said Van Beek, who played wide receiver in 2024. “I can do whatever to help the team. It’s a blessing.”

Van Beek has seen varsity playing time at quarterback before, in his freshman season he appeared in 10 games filling in for the now-graduated Evan Vanevenhoven.
