Adonten Senior High School’s seeded journey in the National Science and Maths Quiz has come to an abrupt end after a stunning defeat by Mankranso SHS.
In a contest that also featured St Paul’s SHS, Mankranso took early control and never looked back. They led the first round with 13 points, while St Paul’s and Adonten trailed with 9 and 6 points respectively.
By the second round, Mankranso widened the gap to 18 points, leaving St Paul’s on 11 and Adonten struggling with 8.

The momentum continued into the problem-solving round, where Mankranso scored 6 out of 10, followed by St Paul’s with 5, and Adonten with 3.
Their sharp performance in the True or False round and quick response to two riddles sealed the victory — earning Mankranso 43 points at the end of the contest. St Paul’s finished with 23, while Adonten, once a seeded school, bowed out with just 14 points.
This loss means Adonten SHS will now return to the preliminary stage in the next edition of the competition.
