NSMQ 2020: Bolgatanga SHS makes impressive Win with 47 points on #NSMQPrelims Day Two

Beginning the contest with the lowest points, Bolgatanga SHS had a miraculous turn of events to win with 47points.

The fourth contest within the Northern Zone Preliminary Stage was between Navrongo SHS, Sandema SHS, and Bolgatanga SHS.

Earlier this year, the lesser-known Sandema SHTS qualified for the NSMQ Prelims by subjecting the highly-rated Notre Dame Seminary SHS to ridicule. This time around they were on the receiving end as Bolgatanga SHS and Navrongo SHS beat them on Day Two of the Northern Zone Preliminary Stage.

Bolgatanga SHS and Navrongo SHS had an impressive score of 7points for the Problem of the Day in Round Three, unfortunately not enough to win the Prudential Life NSMQ Star, worth GHC 2000.
