The clash, which many described as a “battle of giants,” lived up to the hype, filled with cheers, gasps, and tense moments that kept spectators on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
From the first bell, the defending champions showed intent. Mfantsipim took a commanding early lead with 25 points, while Prempeh College followed with 20 points, and ADISCO trailed with 15 points at the end of Round One.
By Round Two, the BOTWE Boys shifted into high gear, thrilling the audience with their speed and accuracy. They widened their lead to 41 points, leaving Prempeh far behind with 22 points, and Adisadel still struggling at 15 points.
The Problem of the Day (Round Three) brought some redemption for ADISCO, who dazzled with a solid 6 out of 10, the highest in that round. Mfantsipim managed 4 out of 10, while Prempeh secured 2 out of 10. Despite the slight shakeup, BOTWE remained comfortably ahead.
