Answer :

The highest score is 32 points.

Given,

Mean score of 8 players =14.5

After removing highest score then,

Mean score of 7 players =12

let

the sum of all score be 'x'

highest score be 'y'

At first,

[tex]Mean=\frac{sum\ of\ all\ scores}{total\ number\ of\ scores}\\\\14.5=\frac{x}{8}\\\\x=116[/tex]

after removing the highest score, mean  will be

[tex]Mean=\frac{sum\ of\ all\ scores-highest\ score}{number\ of\ scores}\\\\12=\frac{x-y}{7}\\\\x-y=84[/tex]

substituting 'x'

[tex]116-y=84\\\\116-84=y\\\\y=32[/tex]

Thus, the highest score is 32 points.
