Crosstown basketball delivered everything it promised — intensity, momentum swings, and a finish that came down to free throws and final seconds.
Daily Inter Lake reporter Luke Schmit speaks to Glacier and Flathead players and coaches after Friday night’s crosstown doubleheader at Flathead High School.
In the boys’ game, Glacier survived a furious Flathead rally to escape with a 54–52 win, knocking down 11 free throws in the final quarter to hold off the Braves.
Cooper Pelc led the Wolfpack with 22 points, while Asher Knopik sealed it late at the line after Flathead had a chance to tie in the closing seconds.
Glacier head coach Evan Epperly and players Pelc and Knopik break down the physical play, the pressure at the stripe, and what it takes to stay composed in one of the valley’s most chaotic environments.
Earlier in the night, the Flathead girls made a statement of their own, jumping out early and never looking back in a dominant 65–30 victory.
Freshman Lexi Herion poured in 19 points, while Coach Kaylee Fox and players Grace Gall and Herion reflect on managing crosstown emotions and setting the tone early.
