Mfantsipim School has made history once again, successfully defending its title to win the 2025 National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ). The Botwe Boys claimed back-to-back glory and their fourth national trophy in a charged final held at the University of Cape Coast’s NEC Auditorium.
Dubbed the “Battle of the Giants,” the grand finale brought together three of Ghana’s top-performing schools — Mfantsipim, St. Augustine’s College (Augusco), and Opoku Ware School (OWASS). The competition was intense, combining speed, intelligence, and teamwork that kept the audience on edge from start to finish.
Mfantsipim took an early lead in the first round with 20 points, while Augusco and OWASS followed closely with 17 points each. Augusco rallied in the second round to edge ahead with 27 points, but the defending champions quickly regained control in the Problem of the Day segment, scoring 30 points to Augusco’s 29.
By the fourth round, Mfantsipim had widened the gap to 46 points, with Augusco on 42 and OWASS on 29. The tension peaked in the final round as all three teams battled fiercely, but Mfantsipim remained composed and strategic. When the final bell rang, they emerged victorious with 56 points, sealing their dominance in style.
St. Augustine’s College finished second with 42 points after a valiant performance, while Opoku Ware School placed third with 29 points.
As cheers of “God is a MOBA!” filled the auditorium, the Botwe Boys hoisted the trophy high in celebration of yet another historic win. With this triumph, Mfantsipim solidifies its legacy as one of Ghana’s greatest academic powerhouses, standing tall with four NSMQ titles and a legacy of unmatched excellence.
