“With 1.2 seconds left on the clock, Little Chute called time out. As the crowd chanted ‘Noah, Noah!' VanVooren jogged onto the field and lined up alongside quarterback Sam Merryfield,”  The Post Crescent reported.

With both teams supporting his run, VanVoreen, wearing #14, ran 35-yards past the Clintonville Truckers to make his first touchdown and bring the score to 62-0 with a crowd cheering him on.

The first-year coach, Brian Ryczkowski, said he wasn’t sure if VanVoreen wanted to play, telling the paper: “I thought maybe Noah would be nervous,” but he wasn’t at all.

“I made a touchdown,” VanVoreen told reporters after the game.

“I did great!”
