After sacrament meeting on Sunday, I was talking to a friend when I turned and glanced into the foyer. My eyes stayed in the foyer and it took my brain a second to realize I was looking at Coach Bolton from High School Musical.
I pointed at him for longer than is socially normal and said, "We need to go get a picture with him." It was the randomest encounter.
Bart was there with some family members for a small HSM reunion that he had been invited to. They happened to stop by the church & we got some pictures together! His brother, Adam, is also in a few movies we like.
Justin, who was at his shootaround, saw the video and made it to the church in pretty good timing to meet Coach Bolton - I mean, pick us up. ;)
Normally, Justin would prefer to keep to himself and wait in the car since he was in his basketball clothes. This was an exception and I won't forget him walking full speed into the Relief Society room after Sunday School to meet him haha.
Made his 2024 year!
Justin happened to have a crazy, once in a lifetime alley-oop dunk that got a lot of attention online.
Coach Bolton responded, "LETS GOOOOOO!!! We should have gone!! Well done my Wildcat." 2025 year made. Ha!
I don't think I'll ever forget that random, funny encounter.
