The Presbyterian Boys' Secondary School (Presec)-Legon proved that Ghana SHS- Tamale and St. Mary's Boy' SHS are no match for them as they eased past their contenders to book their slot in the quarterfinals.
The 'blue magicians' started their title defence in the 2021 National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) with outstanding class after beating their contenders to pulp.
After five competitive rounds, the 'Odadeɛs' broke records with 71 points victory over their competitors.
For most old students of Presec-Legon, the standard is already set for them and they are hopeful the school will make a third consecutive appearance at the grand finale.
The 2020 NSMQ champions were awarded Gh₵2,000 for the Airtel/Tigo Highest Scorer Award, though they could not grab a perfect score in the Problem of the Day round.
