Day Three of the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) gave a lot of ooh and aah moments as some of the contest's former winner made their 1/8th appearances.
After the shocking exit of two-time winners Mfantsipim, many were anticipating what fellow three-times champion St. Peter's School will do.
The anticipated contest which featured Michael Obeng of St Peter's SHS gave high expectations of outstanding performance and famous Bible quotes.
And true to form, the boy's from Nkwatia did not disappoint as they ended the competition as the highest-scoring school in the contest this year.
Persco kicked out Berekum SHS with a 40 points difference and Notre Dame Girls’ SHS with 58 points.
Displaying great sportsmanship and wit were Anthony Asante and Michael Obeng who represented St Peter's SHS.
