RIC offers three cross-disability wheelchair basketball programs: RIC Hornets (men's basketball team); RIC Sky (women's basketball team); and RIC Spalding Bulldogs (junior basketball team). All basketball programs are affiliated with the National Wheelchair Basketball Association and are played in accordance with NCAA rules, with a few exceptions that are outlined by the NWBA. The Hornets, Express, and Bulldogs participate in tournaments and competitions throughout the U.S. This program is made possible in part by a grant from the Chicago Blackhawk Charities, a fund of the McCormick Tribune Foundation. 2006 Wirtz Tourney Hornets 58 vs RHI Pacers 33 Roughriders 20 vs Hornets 61 Hornets 44 vs Roughriders 22 Hornets 56 vs RHI Pacers 42 Hornets won the championship Wataru Horie Winning MVP Honors |
