James Enochs High School hosted the 2014 California High School Speech Association (CHSSA) State Tournament on April 25 through April 27 at James Enochs High School in Modesto. The tournament was cumulative. In International Extemp, Rohan Deskmukh of Carlsbad High School won his school’s first extemp state championship since at least 2003 by defeating Asher Kalman by three ranks. Alex Ye of Gabrielino High School , who won International Extemp at this year’s James Logan High School MLK Invitational (a TOC qualifier), placed third. Defending champion Rohan Dhoopar of Bellarmine College Preparatory, who was a participant at this year’s Montgomery Bell Academy Extemp Round Robin, was knocked out in the semi-finals.
In United States Extemp, Brian Yu of Monte Vista High School successfully defended his state championship, and won the tournament by four ranks over Ankur Mahesh of Bellarmine College Preparatory. Yu was this year’s California Invitational winner and he becomes the third California extemper since 2003 to win the United States Extemp category twice. Jonas Trevethan of Turlock High School finished third.
Six of the extempers in the final rounds of the tournament were non-seniors, and have earned automatic qualifications to next year’s Extemporaneous Speaking Tournament of Champions (TOC) at Northwestern University. They are indicated in italics in the results listing.

This weekend saw twenty-two extempers compete in Cal State University-Fullerton’s annual speech and debate tournament. The tournament is a tentative qualifying tournament for the 2014 Extemporaneous Speaking Tournament of Champions. Jovion Sun of Schurr High School (CA) was the tournament champion, posting straight 1’s in the final round. Schurr High School and San Marino High School (CA) had the most extempers in the final round, placing two each.
All of the extempers that made the final round earned a tentative qualifying leg to this season’s Extemporaneous Speaking Tournament of Champions (TOC) at Northwestern University. None of the final round participants have previously qualified through other categories, so all of them earned their first qualifying leg to this season’s TOC.
