Prempeh tops Ashanti

Prempeh College today hosted the inter schools Regional Maths quiz. The boys who represented Prempeh College are Louis, Richard and Samson. So many schools represented with two students each. At the end of the competition, Louis of Prempeh came first, Richard and Samson all of Prempeh placed second and third respectively.

The brainee of OWASS placed fourth, which is not surprising because at civilized grounds where their school audience will not give them an advantage by distracting Prempeh contestants during our turn, the perennial cheaters at Santasi cannot hold a candle to Prempeh. When we faced them in a friendly duel at their school last February 7, the Santasi audience distracted us in such a way that we could not even hear the Quiz master. And one would think that the authorities at that school would have the foresight to forbid this dishonorable practice. Rather it seemed like an institutional policy!

Anyway the OWASS boys have now realized that facing Prempeh College at a neutral ground or a refined venue - such as the one we provided to them today - is an entirely new proposition. They didn't have their audience to cheat for them and guess where they placed? A dismal fourth!!

Prempeh thus represent the Ashanti Region for the big event that includes all schools that placed first and second in the Regional quiz.

As a matter of fact, the shame and grace of the Ashanti Kingdom lies in the hands of the College, and to be precise, Louis Oteng Gyimah and Richard. prempeh.org will keep you updated.
