Falcons fly in the second half

It was a slow start for the Fairless Falcons, but a strong second half performance gave them a 47-22 win over the Orrville Red Riders. The Falcons depended on senior wide receiver Brody Pumneo, who ended the game with 5 catches for 75 yards, 2 touchdowns as a receiver and a passing touchdown.
