The ‘Adeshyeɛ’ – the Yaa Asantewaa Girls’ – have embarked on a remarkable return to the National Science and Maths Quiz, a journey that has unfortunately concluded with a disappointing setback for them against Bishop Herman College. The contest, traditionally a pivotal stage for the girls’ development, has been significantly impacted by a dominant performance from the college, marking the end of their anticipated comeback after a fierce battle for a coveted spot in the One-Eighth Stage.
Bishop Herman College emerged victorious in the initial round, establishing a commanding 24-11 lead over the Yaa Asantewaa Girls’ early on. Dabala SHTS, a relatively new school from the Kpando region, initially trailed at 15, while the debutants, Yaa Asantewaa Girls’ themselves, struggled to maintain a lead at 10. Dabala SHTS remained within striking distance, holding a score of 21, demonstrating a steady pace in the competition. Bishop Herman’s performance continued to strengthen, reaching 30 points in Round Two, while the Yaa Asantewaa Girls’ struggled to maintain momentum, with a score of 14.
In Round Three, the disparity widened dramatically. Bishop Herman pushed their advantage to 37 points, while the Yaa Asantewaa Girls’ fell behind by just 10. Dabala SHTS maintained a comfortable lead on 34, showcasing their resilience. The final round saw the final score remaining unchanged, with Bishop Herman securing the One-Eighth Stage ticket, followed by Dabala SHTS with a score of 37.
The result has sparked considerable discussion amongst the school’s supporters, who are keenly anticipating the return of the Yaa Asantewaa Girls’ to the national stage.
