The tournament, being coordinated by the Petra Organisation, will continue next Sunday with another four games at the same venue.
The eight teams were drawn from the recently concluded Milo Schools Football tournament, another venture of the Organisation.
The teams will play each other once, at the end of which the school with the most points will be declared champion. A top prize of G$500,000 is at stake, while second will receive G$300,000, third G$200,000 and fourth $100,000.
The cash prizes aside, the winner and runner-up will be invited to participate in the KFC Invitational tournament, also coordinated by the Petra Organisation.
They will be joined by four other teams, two from overseas and two from the hinterland, Mendonca outlined.
