PREMPEH FOOTBALLERS FIND NO FOOD AFTER TRAINING

Saturday March 18, 2006

Our defending national football champions have set out to defend the national title next month.

Prempeh begins the Milo football defense next month.

However, when the players were called for training last Saturday only 3 showed up. Though a few more showed up on Monday for training, they realised after training that there were no food available to them, which provides further testimony to the enormity of former Senior Housemaster Odoom's contribution to the College.

Most of the problems we have on the campus today is due to the lack of effective management of the dining service. Not since the administration of former Senior Housemaster P.E. Adomah in the 1980s, when many boarders were billed as day students and everyone ate freely at the school's expense, have we experienced such ineptitude in the dining hall.

The few players that showed up on Monday spent their own money and vowed not to return to training again.

Despite the tremendous adversity the athletics team overcame, Prempeh administrators never even welcomed or recognised them upon their return. When Yaa Asantewaa headmistress stepped in and offered to honour the boys with a party, some treacherous Prempeh teachers made phone calls to her urging her to stop it.

It is believed that Mr. Koduah, the biggest oppugnant of sports, is behind all these cruel machinations. He treacherously opposes the headmaster on all ideas that will enhance Prempeh's sporting prestige. Has he forgotten that both of Ghana's Commonwealth Games records are held by Prempeh folks and that a Prempeh athlete is considered Ghana's greatest athlete of all time? How could Prempeh have reached such pinnacle if his predecessors had banned sports?
