Mawuli School Edge Past Mfantsiman Girls In The Second Round Of 16 Of The Sharks Quiz Season 4
The Second senior face-off of #TheSharksQuiz brought together Mfantsiman Girls and Mawuli School on the big stage.
The two notable institutions faced each other squarely in bouts quite unpredictable at the inception. Albeit the pulsating collision in the start-off round, Mawuli school ran ahead of the “Syte” girls raking in 60 points against 40 for the latter. The ladies nonetheless pressed on and fought to gain dominance in the second round by scoring 20 and subduing their counterparts into the negative range; such feat they rejoiced over.
Mawuli was by this time put in a trance and left with a very herculean task to accomplish before the deciding round. They tried though and they managed to pick 35 points against 25 for their contenders in the third round. This total put neither of the schools ahead of the other because it brought them to a tie and thus, they had the final round to break it and finish ahead of the other.
It was a daunting moment for both schools. They risked their sweat and tried to compensate themselves by attempting some of their questions correctly. They struggled to find their feet to stand, one above the other. All through the chills they fought for warmth. At last! There was the decider. Amidst the pull down drama, one of them managed to stand tall.
Mfantsiman Girls’ had been squashed down to a -10 score while Mawuli triumphed, adding 10 points to their lot. It was a very close contest but the first runner ups from season 3 had indeed come stronger to fight for what should have been theirs. This season is definitely about to burn with so much expectations and surprises. Watch out!

Stephen Appiah to contest John Dumelo and Lydia Alhassan in MP race for Ayawaso West Wuogon
Former Black Stars captain Stephen Appiah is set to enter the political fray by rubbing shoulders with notable personalities in the upcoming general elections.
The former Juventus midfielder is believed to be lacing his boots to face the likes of John Dumelo and the incumbent member of Parliament for the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency Lydia Alhassan.
While Dumelo and Alhassan represents the NDC and NPP respectively, Appiah is expected feature in the elections as an independent candidate.
This was revealed by the Spokesperson of the Ayew family Fiifi Tackie via X on Friday afternoon.
“Stephen Appiah to contest Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency as an independent Parliamentary candidate,” he wrote.
If Stephen Appiah affirms the reported news, he will be following in the footsteps of other renowned figures in Ghana football who have indulged in politics recently.
Earlier this year, all-time top scorer of the Black Stars Asamoah Gyan was appointed as the sub-committee chair of Youth and Sports in the campaign committee of Dr Bawumia, the flagbearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party.
In acceptance of the appointment, Gyan emphasised the need to share hos ideas garnered through experience in the game.
Anas took $100,000 to stop documentary release – Kwesi Nyantakyi
‘I have enough experience to contribute to sports – Asamoah Gyan reacts to political appointment
“I always ask myself, how do we create change if we don’t want to change? How do we spectate without being on the bench, and how do we score without being on the field?… All I know and will ever know, all I love and will ever love is SPORTS.” he stated.
Another figure in Ghana football who recently announced his intention to engage in partisan politics is Kwesi Nyantakyi, former Ghana Football Association (GFA).
The former football administrator showed up as one of the candidates to contest in the NPP primaries for the Ejisu constituency following the demise of incumbent John Kumah.
However, it didn’t pan out well for the former Wa All Stars owner as he lost disappointingly.
He garnered a paltry 35 votes after close to 1,081 delegates had cast their votes in the parliamentary primary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) held in the Ejisu Constituency on April 13.
