  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Oxford High School boys' basketball team for winning the AHSAA 6A State 
Title. The team's record is 30-4 and is coached by Joel Van Meter.
  On Saturday, March 7, 2026, at the Birmingham Jefferson Convention 
Center's Legacy Arena, the Oxford High School team beat the Cullman 
High School team 68 to 44. Tournament MVP Jaylen Alexander scored 11 
points, had eight assists, and had five steals. Chris Latson scored 21 
points, Marcus Perry, Jr. scored 17 points, and Caileb Wilson scored 10 
points. This is Oxford High School's first basketball state title in 
school history.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in celebration as we congratulate the 
team, coaches, students, faculty and fans at Oxford High School on this 
exciting occasion. Go Big O.
