Brian Anderson of LaRue County High School made history at this year’s Kentucky High School Speech League (KHSSL) State Championshp by winning the extemporaneous speaking state title for the third consecutive year.
Anderson, last year’s Barkley Forum champion and who at one time was the top ranked extemper in the country in the Extemp Central National Points Race, went straight 1’s in the semi-final and final rounds of the tournament to defeat Jared Thomas of Harrison County High School by three ranks. Thomas finished third at last year’s tournament.
Lane Hedrick of Rowan County Senior High School, a two-time winner of the George C. Armstrong Heart of Illinois Invitational at Bradley University, finished third.
All of the finalists earned an automatic qualification to this year’s Extemp TOC at Northwestern University by virtue of making the tournament final round. This gives Kentucky five new TOC qualifiers as Anderson was already pre-qualified due to reaching elimination rounds at last year’s TOC.

Brian Anderson of LaRue County High School completed a successful defense of his extemporaneous speaking state title at this year’s Kentucky High School Speech League (KHSSL) State Championship. The tournament, held at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, Kentucky, featured forty-four extempers, and Anderson emerged victorious by two ranks over Sue Cook of Danville High School. Anderson’s repeat is the first since Logan Scisco of Danville won consecutive state titles in 2003 and 2004. Anderson’s win also gives him possession of both of the state’s extemp titles (The Kentucky Educational Speech and Drama Association hosts the state’s other state tournament) for the second straight year. Jared Thomas of Harrison County High School, who finished second to Anderson at last year’s state tournament, placed third.
Four of the finalists at this year’s KHSSL State Championship earned an automatic bid to the 2014 Extemporaneous Speaking Tournament of Champions (TOC) at Northwestern University by making the tournament’s final round. They are indicated in italics in the results listing.

The Kentucky Educational Speech and Drama Association (KESDA) State Tournament is the first of two state tournaments in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and is hosted annually at the Clarion Hotel in Lexington, Kentucky. This year’s event saw Brian Anderson of LaRue County High School succesfully defend his KESDA state championship. This is the third consecutive state title for Anderson, who won the KESDA and Kentucky High School Speech League (KHSSL) state titles last season. It is the first time that an extemper has successfully defend their KESDA championship since 2008, when Hunter Kendrick of Danville High School accomplished the feat. Anderson defeated Matt Thomas of Rowan County Senior High School in the tournament’s final round. Rowan County had three finalists at this year’s tournament, and four elimination round participants, which was more than any other school.
Four extempers earned an automatic qualification to this year’s Extemporaneous Speaking Tournament of Champions (TOC) at Northwestern University. Grant Markwell of Rowan County Senior High School moved off the TOC bubble and into this year’s field by placing fourth at the tournament. He had earned one qualifying leg at the Western Kentucky Hilltopper Classic in December. Those extempers that earned an automatic qualification at KESDA are indicated in italics in the results listing.

December is a time when the most recognized collegiate forensic programs host their invitational tournaments. George Mason and Bradley University hosted theirs the first weekend of December and last weekend was Western Kentucky University’s turn. WKU placed second at both collegiate national tournaments last season and it had thirty-one extempers in its annual Hilltopper Classic on December 14th. Brian Anderson of LaRue County High School (KY), who finisher runner-up at the George Mason University Patriot Games Classic two weeks ago and is a 2014 MBA invitee, was the tournament champion. Emma Jackson and Andrew McKinney of Danville High School (KY) took second and third, respectively. Lane Hedrick of Rowan County Senior High School (KY), who won Bradley’s George Armstrong Heart of Illinois Invitational two weeks ago, was also in the final round and placed fifth. The tournament gave out a top novice award and Musa Subramaniam of Franklin High School (TN), who was the only non-Kentucky extemper in finals, was the recepient.
The tournament was a 2014 Extemporaneous Speaking Tournament of Champions (TOC) qualifying tournament and three extempers earned their first qualfying leg. McKinney earned his second qualifying leg in as many weeks and becomes the third Kentucky extemper to qualify for the TOC. Extempers that earned a TOC qualfying leg are indicated in italics below.
