Allan Rockwell

Professional Cornhole Player

ACL Pro for Atlantic Conference

Allan Rockwell's Biography

I am ACL Pro Allan Rockwell from the Atlantic Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the ACL. Started 11 years ago at an outside venue called " The Knot Hole Station". Ken Parsons, Owner, got the group started. This is the same place Pros players James Baldwin, Harlee Culpepper, Ronnie Culpepper and Allison Heine played on a weekly basis as there was no other place around playing. After playing for months, the 1st time me and another player threw a double 4 bagger everyone clapped and roared out loud as that was unheard of. Played there for almost a year before I got in a National group. When $1000 cornhole tourney would come out on Facebook that was 4 hours away, we would go and before long we were traveling to all of them.

We are sorry to report that on September 29, 2021, the Cornhole world lost one of its “OGs”, Allan “Rocky” Rockwell, after a fight with prostate cancer.
