Keta Senior High Technical School (Ketasco) has defied all odds to become one of the top schools in the National Science and Maths Quiz in 2021. (NSMQ).
Bright Senyo Gadzo, Francisca Lamini, and James Lutterodt, the school’s three candidates, have made their school proud by becoming the first Volta-Oti team to compete in the finals.
Their performance has been remarkable and extraordinary throughout the month-long national tournament, which began in October, with Bright Senyo Gadzo getting the majority of his forecasts correct, a move that has benefited his team.
Bright Senyo startled quiz master Prof Elsie Kaufmann when he properly answered a question in the speed race while the question was still being read in their quarter-final match against Ghana National College and St. Louis SHS.
Prof Kaufmann was surprised over his accurate response as she was yet to complete reading the question.
She responded by saying ‘how’ before confirming the answer as correct because she could not imagine how the ‘young hero’ got it.
“I hadn’t even asked you the question yet,” she added amid laughter.
The supporters and students of the school could not hide their excitement over the development. In that race, the ‘Dzolalians’ edged out St. Louis SHS and Ghana National College with 68 points and emerged as winners of the AirtelTigo Highest Scorer of the Day award.
Bright Senyo Gadzo repeated his ‘magical brilliance’ during the semi-final contest with Wesley Girls’ SHS and Tamale SHS.
For many, Keta SHTS can claim the 2021 NSMQ glory on the back of Bright due to his intelligent ways of providing solutions to questions even before the Quiz Mistress had finished giving the full values of the questions.
It will be remarkable and historical should he be able to employ same strategies in the grand finale contest which features defending champions, Presbyterian Boys’ Secondary School and four-time champions Prempeh College.
The contest will begin at 2pm today and will be broadcast live on JoyNews, Joy Prime and Myjoyonline.com.
