WARREN — Four field goals, and a couple of late touchdowns, wasn’t enough for the Warren G. Harding Raiders in the season opener against Canton McKinley on Friday.

Although the kicking game kept the Raiders in it for the majority of the contest, some explosive plays helped the Bulldogs pull away with a 43-25 victory.

“We played a pretty good football team,” Harding coach Matt Richardson said. “It starts with me at the top. We hung in there.
