RCTC will not play have a women's basketball season. Yellowjackets were national champions two of the last three years but don't have enough players this year. https://t.co/Iu8NdxiIfy

A lack of players, RCTC down to five, means that the defending national champion Yellowjackets will not play women's basketball this season.

The RCTC women will not have a basketball season in 2025-26. Not enough players. Pretty stunning for a program that has won national titles two of the last three years. I hope to have a story later today.
