Djan to our campus to crown him "The
Osagyefo Golden Boy." Not only was
this Presidential citation confered
upon him at school, but the President

Prempeh wins.

Prempeh & Kumasi High march on to the SuperZonals, where they will face these schools.

OWASS won their zone with 221 points because they have only feeble schools in their zone. When their scouts spying on Prempeh today saw how gifted the Prempeh boys are, they panicked!

They have many reasons to be afraid. We will tell you more later.
