RENO, Nev. – The Cleveland Browns selected Nevada linebacker James-Michael Johnson in the fourth round on Saturday to open up a school-record four draftees for the Wolf Pack in the 2012 NFL Draft.

Johnson became the 37th player in Nevada history to get selected in the NFL Draft. He is the first Wolf Pack player to be selected though Nevada all-time great Marion Motley starred for the Browns in his career.

In the fifth round, linebacker Brandon M. Marshall was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars. He is the first Jaguars’ selection of a Nevada player since 2004 when Jacksonville took linebacker Jorge Cordova.

In the sixth, the Wolf Pack had its first defensive back selected since 1993 (Brock Marion) when corner Isaiah Frey was picked up by the Chicago Bears.

Nevada wide receiver Rishard Matthews capped the school-record class in the seventh round when he was selected by the Miami Dolphins.

The previous record for most players drafted from Nevada was three, set in 1998 and tied last year.

Klein, a junior from Blue Diamond, Nev. (Western Nevada College), hit .353 (6-for-17) with five runs scored, nine RBI, two doubles, a triple and two home runs starting all four games in right field. His on-base percentage was .333 with a slugging percentage of .941. In Tuesday’s game with San Francisco, he was 1-for-5 with the lone hit being a grand slam. After going hitless in game one at Sacramento State, he had multi hits in the final two games. Saturday, Klein was 2-for-3 with two runs scored, two RBI and both hits were doubles. Sunday, he went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and three RBI. His second hit of the day was a two-run homer and the third hit was an RBI triple, helping the Pack to a win in the series finale.

RENO, Nev.  – The University of Nevada baseball team defeated the Reno Aces, the Triple A affiliate of the MLB’s Arizona Diamondbacks, by a score of 7-3 in an exhibition contest at Aces Ballpark Tuesday night.  The Wolf Pack and Aces were meeting for the third consecutive year and Tuesday was the first time the Pack won the annual exhibition.

RENO, Nev. -

Members of the Wolf Pack athletics department teamed up on Saturday morning to clean up Miguel Ribera Park as part of the “Give Back Like Jack” community pride campaign.

Saturday’s events and celebration wrapped up the first quarter of the kindness initiative. The day of service was held on the Saturday following the first official “Jack Reviglio Day” in Washoe County, to commemorate the accomplishments made during the first part of 2012 and to encourage residents to keep the kindness going.

Members of the Wolf Pack women’s basketball team, including head coach Jane Albright, assistant coach Kami Malnaa, freshman Emily Burns and alum Dellena Criner, and associate athletics director Rhonda Lundin swept the basketball courts and painted the picnic tables at the park as part of the celebration.

Nevada Athletics has partnered with the Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows, Bishop Manogue Catholic High School, Catholic Charities of Northern Nevada and Our Lady of the Snows to encourage residents to help create a sense of kindness and camaraderie in the community by performing random acts of kindness in honor of longtime Reno resident and philanthropist Jack Reviglio, who passed away in 2011. Throughout the campaign, Nevada handed out tickets to a men’s basketball game, threw out t-shirts and raised awareness about the campaign throughout its basketball season and had a free admission weekend at a baseball series.

“Give Back Like Jack” is a memorial to Reviglio who was so well known for his kindness and philanthropy throughout northern Nevada. Reviglio worked often with the five non-profit organizations that have created the initiative, whose mission is to continue spreading the kindness that was so often experienced thanks to Reviglio and his family.

Whether the activity consists of taking the neighbor’s trash to the curb, visiting a friend who is struggling with illness or patiently waiting for a pedestrian to cross the street, “Give Back Like Jack” encourages people to engage in small daily activities that positively affect a friend, family member, co-worker or even a perfect stranger. After completing the act, visit www.GiveBackLikeJack.org to tell the story on the blog page. Stories will be used as examples for other people to follow throughout the rest of the year.

For more information on Give Back Like Jack, visit www.GiveBackLikeJack.org or call 775-331-5437.
