Chemu SHS’s best run in the national competition has been an appearance at the Grand Finale in 2001.

After slaying giants and five-time winners Presec, they should be hopeful of a spectacular campaign come June when the national championship.

St. Margaret Mary SHS finished last with 14 points.

Presec, the only school to have won the competition five times would be worried about their prospects.

In 2018, they were eliminated at the quarterfinal by Cape Coast-based Mfantsipim School.
