Coimbatore: Students from Pethanaickanur Government High School have made their mark in the regional throwball competition held at the Government School in Kottur near Pollachi. The event, organized by the Mini Sports Center, saw the school's team securing first place in both the under-14 and under-17 categories, qualifying them for the upcoming district-level tournament.

This achievement marks the second consecutive year that the students have qualified for the district-level competition, showcasing their consistent performance and dedication to the sport.
