The Ridgefield football team looks to improve to 6-2 on Saturday when the Tigers face Harding in a 3 p.m. kickoff at Bridgeport's Kennedy Stadium.
Last week, Ridgefield rebounded from a 27-12 loss to Norwalk to defeat McMahon, 14-13. The Tiges held on when the Senators failed to convert a two-point coversion in the final minute rather than playing for a tie and possibly sending the game to overtime.
Ridgefield will be looking to get its offense back on track after being held to Sam Gravitte's 21-touchdown run in the third quarter. The Tigers' other score came on Brandon Freeman's 60-yard interception return for a touchdown in the second quarter.
Harding is 2-5 after suffering a 42-20 loss at Norwalk last week. The 20 points actually was a season high for the Presidents, whose wins have come against Fairfield Ludlowe (6-0) and Bassick (12-8).
