By East Alabama Sports Today

TUPELO, Miss. — Chris Latson scored 23 points, but Oxford’s boys opened the basketball season with a 69-48 loss to Columbus (Miss.).

 Oxford is coming off of an historic 2025-26 season, which saw the Yellow Jackets win the AHSAA Class 6A title, Oxford’s first-ever state title in basketball. Latson is one of three returning starters.

Marcus Perry Jr. didn’t play Saturday, resting a sore back.

Caleb Wilson added nine points, and Noah Pesnell scored eight.
