St. Thomas Aquinas showed their dominance right from the start of the contest, finishing the first round with a seven-point lead.
The NSMQ title contenders ended the contest with 62 points. Sacred Hearts came in with 40 points, while Ngleshie Amanfro finished with 21 points.
St. Thomas Aquinas is poised to make amends for their abysmal performance last year after the school suffered a humiliating exit in the 2024 NSMQ after being eliminated from the competition last year at the preliminary stages.
This happened after it came up against Okuapeman SHS and Adukrom Presby SHS.
At the end of the contest, Okuapeman SHS advanced to the next stage after getting 48 points.
St. Thomas Aquinas SHS came in second with 28 points, while Adukrom Presby SHS came third with 23 points.
A member of St. Thomas' NSMQ team in 2024, Anthony Tang, is part of the contestants representing the school in this year's competition.
At the time of writing the report, a post on the NSMQ page announcing that St. Thomas had advanced to the next stage had racked up over 1,000 likes and 60 comments.
