WORCESTER, MA — Question: Which Worcester high school has some of the smartest students around?

Answer: You'll find out on Saturday evening.

Students from Worcester's South High Community School will face off against Andover High School Saturday in the second episode of the 14th season of GBH's "High School Quiz Show."

If South High School prevails Saturday, the students will go on to face the winner of a match between Melrose and Mansfield high schools, whose episode premiers on Feb. 18. That quarter-final episode will air on April 8.

Saturday's match could be a tough one for South High: Andover made it to the championship final last season — although ultimately lost to North Quincy High School.

The South High School Colonels taped their episode in January, and it will air beginning at 6 p.m. on GBH channel 2 (broadcast and Spectrum).
