OAC-wise, there was the GHHS teams of 1990 and 1997-99. The 1990 team ran into the brilliant Ben Gum and teammates from Beavercreek in the state finals and the 1997-99 teams ran into the Brandon Eilertson and Edward Chang-led Copley teams.
I think Fisher with Tom and Brandon was fantastic but unfortunately overlapped with Sam Blizzard's Northmont teams.
Tipp in 2005 was a dynamite team, as was Solon and my GHHS team that year actually owned Solon and were pretty much on-par with Tipp, but Copley won the state title after their captain returned the week before from a long illness that kept him out of school and competitions for months.
I'll let others chime in on NAQT over the past 7-8 years. Our multiple NAQT small school champion teams never won a state title despite being exceptionally good (South Range and Beachwood come to mind especially).
