  "account": "St. Hubert Minor Seminary's SHS staged an impressive comeback against seeded Mawuli School at the SMS Auditorium, reclaiming a seeded spot for the 2026 National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ). Initially, Mawuli School took the lead, but St. Hubert quickly turned the tide in Round Two with a strong performance, widening the gap to ten points by the end of Round Three. Despite Mawuli School's resurgence in Round Four, St. Hubert maintained its lead in Round Five, finishing with 48 points, four ahead of Mawuli School and 20 points ahead of Konongo-Odumase SHS. This victory not only secures St. Hubert's progression to the next stage but also marks a significant achievement, as the school previously lost its seeded status after a tough match against Adisadel College a year ago. The 2026 NSMQ, produced by Primetime Limited and sponsored by various organizations, will be broadcast on JoyNews, with support from multiple local businesses and academic institutions.",
