Silver State Series   


Launched in 2012 by Nevada's then-Governor Brian Sandoval under the original name of the Governor's Series, this historic competition established a formal head-to-head athletic and academic challenge between longtime rivals -- the Rebels and the Wolf Pack. 

Rebranded in 2018 and then adding a new presenting sponsor in 2022, the all-encompassing competition annually crowns one school the winner of the Silver State Series presented by America First Credit Union.

In addition, each school annually announces a winner of the coveted Bill Ireland Award, which goes to the performer who had the biggest impact vs. their rival school while helping their sport earn points in the series.
