After his team’s victory over rival UNLV last weekend, Wolf Pack football coach Jay Norvell gathered his team in the locker room, handed out game balls and thanked Nevada’s seniors for their impact on the season.

But, before he let the team celebrate with its victory song, he delivered a message to the returning players.

“For you guys coming back, our training for next season starts next week,” Norvell said sternly.

The Fremont Cannon victory over UNLV ended a sour season on a successful note.
