FAIRMONT — Fairmont duplicated last week’s winning score Friday night at Mahoney Field, but used a different formula to earn it. Defensive end Weston Bremer made half of the Cardinals’ six fumble recoveries, while split end Brennan Holm caught four passes for a game-high 122 yards and three touchdowns to upend the Lennox Orioles, 35-19, in Fairmont. “Turnovers were the difference in the ballgame tonight. It’s as simple as that,” said Fairmont mentor Mat Mahoney, whose lineup produced a plus-five turnover ratio - five in the second half - to offset its South Dakota opponents’ 323-269 edge in total yardage. “I thought our boys showed a lot of poise, and last year’s experience is paying off. “I also thought Justin Heinrich managed a perfect game for us on offense tonight.” Mahoney’s postgame analysis hit the bull’s-eye like a Heinrich spiral as the Cardinals’ 6-foot-4 junior quarterback connected on an incredible 10 of 13 passes for 165 yards and four TDs.
