Logan Bakner

I am ACL Pro Logan Bakner from the Atlantic Conference and this is my story of how and when I started playing cornhole and worked my way up to an ACL Pro.  I first picked up a bag 3 years ago at a friends house during a picnic. Played off and on. Then, in the beginning of 2018, I started playing competitively and played almost every weekend since.

Paula Stevens

I am ACO Pro Paula Stevens from the Mid-Atlantic Conference and this is how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole Organization. Played in backyard like everyone else. My husband pushed me to pay blind draws. After the first one, I was addicted to the game.

Emory Parker

I am Emory Parker ACL Pro from the Southeast Conference and this is my story of how and when I started playing cornhole and worked my way up to an ACL Pro. Went to South Bend, Indiana when I was 11 for a Florida State - Notre Dame football game. I had never seen cornhole before that and immediately fell in love. Upon returning home I built a set of boards with my Dad and it became a staple at our tailgates indefinitely. After graduating from Florida State, I moved to South Florida where I was looking for ways to meet people. I ran across South Florida Cornhole and went out for my first tournament that night. The rest was history as I began traveling out of town for tournaments and competing against the best in the state, and eventually the country.

As much as I love competing, for me Cornhole is all about the people you meet. Everyone has so much fun and enjoys being around one another. I cannot say enough about the people I have met from this game AKA "my cornhole fam."

James Reschke

I am ACL Pro James Reschke from the Mid-East Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. Been playing for about 2 years. Started with pops and still playing with him to this day. Great bonding experiance and it's an oppurtunity to allow me to fulfill my competitive nature.
