The National Science and Maths Quiz shared the interview on its official Facebook page on 20 September 2026, giving fans a rare, lighthearted glimpse into the personalities behind the three contestants representing the Cape Coast institution.
What the AUGUSCO boys had to say
Each of the three finalists went with a different pick.
Amos Enninful chose Holy Child School, Yawson King Afedzie gave his nod to Mfantsiman Girls, and Joseph Gordon Fenyi-Mensah declared his admiration for Wesley Girls High School.
The varied choices in the Facebook video were enough to get fans talking, with many enjoying seeing a more personal side of the trio beyond their academic reputations.

With that pedigree comes expectation, and the school arrives at the UG Premier venue with every intention of lifting a third trophy.
The video drew a flood of reactions from fans, supporters, and alumni across social media.
