Hurley’s first game shoes power Raiders past Kirtland
Bruce Hurley’s famous red and black high back shoes cheered a 65-53 Class A Regional semi final win for Steubenville over Kirtland. Hurley noted the shoes have carried him through sectional and district wins and could be saved for a possible state bid after a tense finish. The Raiders relied on Dan Hagen’s inside play before foul trouble altered the lineup, while Kirtland coach Dick Crowell praised his players and stressed Hagen’s fouls limited Columbia’s attack.
