CROWN CITY — The St. Joseph Female Flyers just need to realize two halves make a whole.

The Female Flyers played well in one half before struggling in the second half in a 49-30 loss to the South Gallia Lady Rebels.

“We played pretty well the first half, we just made too many mistakes in the second half. Our defense played well, but our offense just had too many turnovers,” said Female Flyers coach B.J. Hannon.
