Ralston is Patriots' starting quarterback as a senior this fall, but once outwitted his former middle school coach during a intrasquad game

Craig Lukins had had some pretty dynamic quarterbacks at Liberty Christian in the Tri-Cities.

He’s had Keegan Bishop and Curtis Morgan, who registered 2,500-yard passing seasons as seniors. He had John Lesser, who had 5,500 yards of total offense, including 3,710 yards and 52 touchdowns on the ground in his final season.

But has Lukins ever had a signal caller who is 1-0 as a head coach in middle school?

That is what the No. 1 Patriots of Class 1B have in the huddle with Trenten Ralston.
