10:25 GMT: Our boys are being dressed now.
10:30: They are moving to the stage. Cheers from every corner.
10:30: St. Peters has already beaten PRESEC 97-79.
Still, it will be the battle of the P's as Prempeh will take on Peter's.
Our boys have left the quiz room to go and pray and get some guidance from the masters.
Yesterday was a great day as OWASS master
fled from the Quiz room while Prempeh crushed the Santasi boys.
One Amanfoo (with grey hair) just left the stage; he came in with a parcel containing money for the boys. Everyone clapped for him for the surprise, and he left.
It turns out the Amanfoo who presented the parcel is Dr. Oteng-Boateng, who's son captained the 1996 National Champions. He presented C500,000.
Amanfoo Legon awarded them C400, 000; and Senior Ofori sent them a very handsome reward (in millions of cedis). Dr. Oteng has supported Prempeh's contestants in
the Quiz every year.
He gave the boys a pep talk.
11:10: Prempeh has one question wrong so far.
no scores yet, folks. We just got started.
Ok now, Prempeh 16, Achimota 18. This is the first time we have trailed.
End of round 1: Prempeh 16, Achimota 18
Some info from Kumasi, specifically Santasi: Yesterday's OWASS squad was the school's best ever. They wanted to use the same quiz team last year but some of their masters opposed. They are saying if they couldn't win it with this squad then they have no hope whatsoever. Prempeh has collapsed that school.
Today's contest is very tough. Its just like yesterday, but what we are seeing is that the Quizwoman is trying to intimidate our boys.
Is Achimota her alma mater? The woman is getting confrontational and screaming at our boys.
She just had a confrontation with Dwobeng when he challenged her after a question.
Prempeh 33, Achimota 38
We are now moving to PROBLEM OF THE DAY. They are leading by 5 points now. Today's problem is a Chemistry question.
The Quizmistress has been the laughing stock today and it is clearly visible to everyone what her agenda is
She herself just used a calculator, in the full glare of everyone, to calculate a problem he asked the Prempeh boys to calculate in 2 minutes without a calculator. Hello?????
Problem of the day: Prempeh 6, Achimota 3
That cuts our deficit to only 2 points
The Quizmistress is a product of Aburi Girls; we just had to investigate to understand whats happening today. Now we have to find out who her husband is and if he's associated with our opposing school in any way. What she's doing defies reason.
still a 2 point deficit, as both sides continue to do well.
Last night we spent some time with the boys (all the 9 contestants, which includes 6 reserves) at their camp, interviewing them about their backgrounds, motivations, and how they felt about yesterday's win. Herewith Senior Dwobeng's profile.
Its not going so good, Amanfoo: our boys are frustrated.
Achimota 61, Prempeh 52
We are in Round 5 now.
Achimota 80, Prempeh 71. Final Score
The boys were frustrated by the Madam. The woman succeeded with what she set out to do. She was motivated to do the host school a favour.
We meet PRESEC at 1:30pm for 3rd place.
This was a typical daylight robbery. Even the host school is surprised by the Quiz woman's behaviour, which I'm sure is going to be the talk of the town.
The only consolation here is that at least we know the
cowboys are not going to win it.
The only victor here is of course Michael Quaye, and his Santasi friends, who will show up any minute on our Message board to speak their minds. They will soon be here to attack what they call our propaganda machine.
Just as we predicted: Jubilation in the camp of OWASS, who came here to support Achimota.
These are the same OWASS folks who cried more than the most hysterical girl.
Another solace is that we've been able to achieve with the internet what no one has ever imagined in Ghana. Other schools are now beginning to appreciate the power and importance of technology. When we got a call at the Assembly Hall yesterday that some of our masters followed the commentary online and already knew the score, we were invigorated to offer even more. Had it not been for the partiality shown by this woman, Prempeh would have achieved greatness this year. But we'll be back next year.
We end here with a profile of the OWAREAN PUNISHER, Louis Oteng Gyimah of G'berg House.
Brought to you by same commentator as before, Senior Ebenezer Owusu Wireko. Check out yesterday's commentary.
5:00PM GMT: PREMPEH 80, PRESEC 74. Prempeh wins 3rd place.
