The game was tied at 40 when Geer drove to the hoop as time expired. She was fouled by Macy King at the horn and calmly sunk the game-winning free throw to finish with 19 points to go with 12 rebounds.

Mackenzie Byerley added 11 points for Keystone, which trailed 28-26 going to the fourth quarter.

Lexi Holt had a game-high 21 points for Redbank Valley with all 21 coming after halftime. Her nine third-quarter points helped the Lady Bulldogs outscored Keystone 13-6 in the third quarter to erase a five-point, 20-15, halftime deficit and take the two-point lead heading to the fourth. She then netted all 12 of Redbank Valley’s fourth-quarter points.

Kera Fink added 10 points for Redbank.

Keystone, which has a .500 record rule for the playoffs, must win its final three regular-season games against Union, Forest Area and A-C Valley to qualify for the postseason.
