The contestants outrun their closest contender, Ejisu SHTS by a 38-point gap followed keenly by Jachie Pramso SHS and Agogo State College who secured 26 and 25 points respectively.
In the highly anticipated contest, the first round smacked of stiff opposition from the boys of Jachie Pramso SHS, who trailed the girls with only 3 points.
But the composed ladies showcased their speed and accuracy in the second round, swiftly answering questions thrown at all schools to extend their lead by 25 points at the end of the round.
They proceeded to demonstrate their indomitable academic prowess in the third round answering almost all their questions correctly to cement their determination of breaking the wing of any school they may cross paths with.
