On the eve of his senior season, Brad Galli and some of his high school football teammates were invited to the movie premiere of 'Gridiron Gang.' 

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson arrived at the theater in Detroit on that 2006 night, and met with the group of defending state champions.

Galli, who admitted he wasn't a good football player, told Johnson he'd find the end zone the next day in the Warriors season-opener.

What happened? Brad scored the first touchdown of Brother Rice's season.

It was the first and only time he found the end zone. 

The magic of The Rock is cooking.
