The upcoming competition runs from January 11-12 at the El Wak Stadium in Accra and 12 schools in the Boys Division and eight schools in the Girls Division will participate.
However, in the past edition the following schools failed to live up to expectations after excelling at the December 2016 edition:
Wesley Girls High School
The then defending champions strolled into the Championship as overwhelming favorites to win the trophy but Wesley Girls failed to progress from the group stage. Wesley Girls won two of five games and crashed out of the tournament with Most Valuable Player at the last edition, Eno Ampong, well shackled by opposing teams.
Opoku Ware School
Like Wesley Girls, Opoku Ware School failed to press from the group stage losing two games before an overwhelming win over Mawuli School in the final game. Top player Emmanuel “Ghost” Agyapong had a frustrating tournament disappointing after starring in the team’s title winning conquest in the previous edition.
St. John’s School
The Saints matched the feat of regional rival Ghana Senior High Technical School (GSTS) by winning bronze at the December 2016 edition. Despite, enormous expectations heading to the 2018 edition, St. John’s disappointed and crashed out early from the competition.
