Olivia Kiefferâs late-game heroics helped the Rapid City Christian girls basketball team climb back from a six-point deficit in the final two and a half minutes of regulation to extend its battle with Philip into overtime.Â
But after Kieffer was sent to bench with five fouls in the final 42 seconds of the fourth quarter, there was little she could do as Lady Scotties junior Copper Lurzâs layup served as the only field goal of the extra period as her squad narrowly beat the Lady Comets 66-65 in the squadsâ season openers Saturday at Hart Ranch.
âWe had our opportunities way prior to that,â said Joe Kieffer, making his RC Christian head coaching debut. âAt the game it just is what it is. We played the way we played. We didnât give ourselves the ability to finish the way we wanted to, but anybody couldâve won.â
