Dubbed the “Volta battle”, many were expecting Sonrise Christian High to give Keta Senior High a tough contest, judging from their impressive display against Ghana Christian International High in the Round of 16.
This was not to be however, as Ketasco led throughout the four-round contest, from the Right Corner Round (Social Literacy) to the R cubed round (Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic), the STEM round and finally the fans’ favorite, the One-on-One round.
