Keta Senior High Technical School (KETASCO) has made a triumphant entry into the grand finale of the GOIL PLC Volta-Oti Zonal Championship.
This will be their third time in the finals, after winning in 2021, and coming second to Mawuli in 2023.
The Eagles from the coast of Keta secured a slot after a convincing defeat to Mawuli School-Ho, and Kpando Senior High School in the second semifinal contest with 52 points. Before that, they registered an impressive 72-point win over Sonrise Christian High School and Kadjebi-Asato SHS in the quarter-final.
This second contest was expected to test their resilience when they came up against Kpasec, and defending champions Mawuli School who are also pushing to lift the trophy for the second time.

Mawuli School raised hopes high when they took the lead in the first round with a 5-point margin over Ketasco, ending the round with 22 points.
As if by some divine providence, the Eagles held fire to Mawuli’s feet in the second round, allowing Mawuli to add 5 points to their tally.
