James, together with Fransica and Bright took Ketasco to the finals of the NSMQ for the first time in the school's history.
Although they lost to Prempeh College, their talents and efforts did not go unnoticed earning praise from many Ghanaians and eventually scholarships among others.
We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of James Lutterodt. As a history-making #NSMQ2021 Keta SHTS team member, he made his school and region proud as the first school from the Volta Region at the NSMQ Final.
