They then beat Olentangy Orange, 3-1 in the championship. Sycamore also won three straight team titles from 2014 to 2016.

On Friday, R.J. Poffenberger and Neelan Gandhi took third in the DII doubles state tournament. Less than 24 hours later, they played a role in the Braves' semifinal win over Lexington. They both won points as Indian Hill swept Pepper Pike Orange, 3-0, to win their ninth team state title.

The Braves also beat Orange in the 2022 championship match after losing to the Lions in 2021.
