Numbers were down for this year’s Alief Taylor High School Tournament, a 2014 Extemporaneous Speaking Tournament of Champions (TOC) qualifier, after the tournament was rescheduled from its usual January date. Shretika Singh of Seven Lakes High School (TX) defeated Junyuan Tan of Alief Kerr High School (TX) and seventeen other competitors to win International Extemp. In United States Extemp, Franz Brotzen-Smith of Lamar High School (TX) defeated Princewell Imouokhome of Seven Lakes High School and twelve other competitors to win the title.

Alief Taylor was the last in-state TOC qualifying opportunity, aside from the Texas Forensic Association (TFA) State Tournament, for Texas extempers. Pranav Thanki of Seven Lakes High School was the only extemper to finish their at-large qualification at the tournament. Eight other extempers earned their first TOC qualifying leg and are indicated in italics in the results listing.
