Madison, WI -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/12/2012 -- As the new Toledo Area Athletic Conference (TAAC) high school baseball season gets under way, Ottawa Hills Green Bears will be looking at a promising young infielder and pitcher Scott Tucker for inspiration as they attempt to stop two time defending champions Northwood Rangers from sealing a third consecutive title. Ottawa Hills (16-15, 7-3) have lost all of their pitchers to graduation but long time coach Chris Hardman believes the Green Bears should be sound defensively and quick on the base paths thanks to Scott Tucker's ability to defend.

Scott Tucker, a junior (IF/P) had a 2-2 record with a 3.89 ERA and if the Green Bears are to stop the Rangers from winning their 3rd successive TAAC title, Tucker's pitching skills will likely have a big say in where the title ends up come the fall. Coach Hardman, who this season enters a remarkable 32nd year as coach of the Green Bears recently stated that the biggest question mark will be where the pitching will come from.

With some already impressive stats to his name, the Green Bears will be hoping Scott Tucker can answer Coach Hardman's question about where the pitching will come from. Hardman went on to add that the kids have worked hard to be good. After reaching the States semi-finals last year, Hardman talked of his Green Bears being favorites this year. According to Hardman you have to give the nod to the defending champs, Hardman went on to add that he thinks he'll have a pretty good team.

The Green Bears will have six seniors back and will welcome six starters, and along with the promising Scott Tucker, good things will no doubt come from senior Adam Moreau (SS/P) an All-TAAC 1st teamer who batted .398 with 20 RBI. Hardman further talked about the Green Bears' chances this season, according to Hardman we are always the favorite, but we haven't won the league in three years. With Toledo Christian expected to be strong again this year the TAAC looks like it's going to have three serious contenders for the league title in 2012.
