Coach Epperly takes the helm of the Wolfpack Boys Basketball team after two seasons of serving as the Junior Varsity Coach for the Pack. As a former Wolfpack player, Epperly remains the program’s career leader in points, assists and steals – playing for Coach Mark Harkins from 2010 – 2014. A guard, Epperly was one of the top basketball players in Class AA as a senior in 2013-14, but he was a standout in football as well and lettered for three years with the Montana Grizzlies football team from 2016-18’.
Following his college career Epperly coached college football, first for a year at Carroll College and then back at Montana for two seasons under Bobby Hauck.
Then, in 2022, he took a job teaching social studies at Kalispell Middle School, and quickly joined Harkins’ staff as well as becoming one of Grady Bennett’s football assistants. Epperly has always wanted to be a head coach — his late grandfather Bill coached Flathead basketball for 13 seasons, and his dad Jim led Bigfork boys basketball for several — he could not be more excited that his first head coaching opportunity is at his alma mater.
