History
2015-2016
2016-2017
OPRF started the year with the loss of most of its starting roster (Arjun Rawal, Ethan Mertz, and Noah Banholzer), but gained sophomore generalist Kevin Kodama in addition to senior specialists Cole Tamondong, John Niewijk, and Jon Panton. After starting the season with a promising win over conference rivals Hinsdale Central, OPRF proceeded to lose the next 5 matches against HC, including a subsequent championship match at Fenwick Kickoff. At Ultima, OPRF finished 3rd in the Uber division after defeating a shorthanded IMSA and a full Fremd team before losing to both Stevenson A and Hinsdale Central (twice). OPRF's lack of tournaments afterwards prevented them from facing stronger competition, but they finished 2nd at Fenton Masonic Sectionals to Hinsdale Central and took the conference championship home after finally defeating Hinsdale Central. In the IHSA State series, OPRF won a tight regional match against York and ended up winning the subsequent sectional over Hinsdale Central. At IHSA State, OPRF defeated Carbondale before losing to both Auburn and University (Normal), finishing T-5th. At the 2017 PACE NSC, OPRF played in Tier 2 after tight morning losses to La Jolla and Thomas Jefferson B. A mixed performance in the afternoon rounds brought OPRF into a playoff for 33rd place. OPRF won that playoff to take 33rd after second day wins over Davis, Danville and Hunter B.
