FOOTBALL PREVIEW \ Tonight's Game

WARREN HARDING (4-0)vs. LAKEWOOD ST. EDWARD (4-0)
Game time: 7 p.m., Lakewood Stadium
Last meeting: Harding won 18-16 in last year's Division I regional semifinal.
Notebook: After two straight playoff losses to the Raiders, you can be sure the Eagles want revenge. Harding beat St. Edward in the first round of the playoffs in 2001, as Maurice Clarett ran for more than 300 yards in the first half to lead the Raiders to a 42-26 victory. St. Edward seemed to have last year's game in hand, but after leading 18-16 with 18 seconds left, Raiders quarterback Mike Kokal found Mario Manningham on a 52-yard pass to set up Joe Spain's game-winning 39-yard field goal. Harding, ranked second in the state behind Cleveland St. Ignatius in the Associated Press poll, is led by strong-armed quarterback Alex Engram and tailbacks Richard Davis and Delbert Ferguson. Manningham is a threat at wideout and returning kicks. After two easy opening wins, Harding has beaten Akron Buchtel (21-6) and Cardinal Mooney (21-19). St. Edward, ranked seventh in the state, is led by junior lineman Alex Boone, an Ohio State recruit, quarterback Kyle Skoczen and running back Damien Pride. St. Edward had its hands full in a 37-28 win over Ursuline to start the season and has since beaten Lakewood, Shaker Heights and Erie (Pa.) Cathedral Prep.
