Life International fly on Angels’ Ridge into semifinal
Life International, Tema, are into the semi finals of the Junior Sharks Quiz Season 7. It is a feat they achieved at the expense of Angels’ Ridge School. Before this contest, both teams had interesting and perhaps contrasting tales to tell. Being Super Ranked Schools, the two teams had their first taste of Junior Sharks 7 at the Round of Sixteen (16). While Angels’ Ridge had to beat Jireh International the hard way, Life International were massive winners against St. Peters’ Basic, Nkwatia.
This first contest of the quarterfinals series failed to ignite the competition as most anticipated.
Angels’ Ridge, in all fairness deserve commendation for not throwing in the towel when they were down but finding strength to finish hard.
The day, however, belonged to Life International who marched on to the next stage of the competition.
Right Corner Round

Life International, on the other hand managed to scoop twenty (20) points.

STEM Round

But their effort was fruitless, just as Angels’ Ridge's was.
After a long spell of inactivity, Angels’ Ridge tried their luck once again, and they were on point for ten (10) points.
