Prempeh faces OWASS in first round

Prempeh College, OWASS, Adentist Day School and Asanteman have drawn in the same group in the Ashanti Inter-Schools debate which will determine the school that gets to represents Ashanti in the national debating competition.

Only the winner of this four member group will move on to the second round.

Beating OWASS in this round may actually serve as a good omen because the last time Prempeh eliminated them, we went all the way to win the national championship for the first time. We eliminated them in the 2003/04 edition and won the National Independence Debate competition in March 2004.

It may be recalled that Prempeh faced OWASS in about 7 competitions that year and beat them in everything except athletics and basketball. Besides the debating competition we won the prestigious Ashanti Milo soccer title, which they could only place as semifinalist, and beat them in the Ashanti Maths Quiz which they placed 4th. Furthermore, our brave science contestants Richard, Dwobeng and Louis eliminated them at the quarter-finals of the national Science & Maths Quiz competition and went on to become second runner-up.

This year (2005/06), Prempeh has already inflicted pain on the Owareans, having exposed their weakness in the Sciences with a defeat in the Ghana Science Association & Cocoa Marketing Board science quiz competition.

This is the year Prempeh is targeting three national trophies -- a quest that Prempeh.org has named the Operation Tripple Crown. We want to win the national Independence debating competition, the Milo national football championship and the national Science & Maths Quiz championship.

No school in Kumasi is going to stand in our way.
