In 1992, Tuckerman won a state baseball championship behind its 31-4 record and finished as a state finalist in basketball. Both teams were led by legendary coach Morgan Gilbert, who has become a popular mainstay at the school since 1974 while amassing more than 1,000 victories in both baseball and basketball, mostly at Tuckerman. Gilbert is the state's only 1,000 game winning coach in baseball and one of six basketball coaches to do so.[2][3]
