  "account": "Mfantsiman Girls' Senior High School has made a triumphant return to the One-Eighth Stage of the 2026 National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) after a disappointing exit from the previous year's preliminaries. The school showcased their prowess in a dominant performance against Kade SHTS and Serwaa Kesse Girls' SHS. Mfantsiman Girls began the contest on a high note, leading Round One with 23 points, narrowly edging out Kade SHTS. They further solidified their position by dominating Round Two, leading with a commanding 33 points. In Round Three, Mfantsiman Girls continued their impressive streak, increasing their lead to 41 points. Despite Kade SHTS and Serwaa Kesse Girls' SHS closing the gap in Round Four, Mfantsiman Girls maintained their commanding lead at 57 points. Ultimately, their strong performance throughout the competition earned them the JuPay Clean Sheet Prize for a flawless performance in the designated round, marking a significant comeback for the school, which was previously eliminated by Suhum SHS in the preliminaries last year.",
