Bret Guy's Cornhole Biography

Joshua Slocum

I am TeamAddicts Brand Ambassador Joshua Slocum from the Mid-East Conference and this is my story of how I started playing cornhole. I started playing cornhole in between softball games while at tournaments. Once the winter rolled around I joined my first league with NEPA cornhole and from there the rest was history.

Tyler Cobb

I am ACL Pro Tyler Cobb from the Southeast Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the ACL. I got started in cornhole playing at family gatherings. When I realized that me and my brothers didn’t lose very often, we decided to start playing at local tournaments. I started winning lots of local tournaments and decided that I was going to put all I had into it to see how far it could take me. I started playing in regionals and it took me a while, but i started winning lots of singles and doubles regionals. I decided it was time to take it to the next level, so I started going to conferences and attended the last national of 2020 in Rock Hill and played in the pro qualifier, where I went 5-3 and ended up getting the pro spot by application. Best thing that has ever happened to me!

John Fuentez

I am ACL Pro John Fuentez from the Mid-West Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the ACL.

About 16-17 yrs ago we had an adult wiffle ball league in my home town. They always had boards on the side lines. Peaked the interest obviously. The older man that owned the land we played on was always beating up on everybody. His name was Ronnie Mac. He was the only one, well the only one I remember at least, with that perfect spinning flat bag. Back then I held the bag on the corner and flipped it. I was good, but inconsistent depending on how the bag landed. So after playing there all the time, we of course decided to make our own boards so we could play more often. Then it just became what we did at all family stuff and most weekends. In the beginning there was never a thought of becoming a professional cornhole player..... but look at me now. I love this sport. I mainly love the people. The cornhole family is amazing. Don't know what I would do without it. There is nothing better in life than walking into a tournament on opening day and hearing the sound of hundreds of bags hitting the boards.

Mark Burgess

I am TeamAddicts Sponsored Player Mark Burgess and this is my story of how I started playing cornhole. Some time in 2018, Derek Coffin called and asked me if I wanted to play some cornhole. There was a bring your own partner tournament that was a fundraiser and little experience, we managed to come in 2nd place. Wicked Cornhole was running a beginners game that was posted on Facebook and  I thought it sounded like a great idea and a good excuse to get out of the house. I had a blast playing and what I really enjoyed were all the people I met. From that point, I was hooked and addicted to the game and the family atmosphere.

I got introduced to the game of cornhole at a friends house back in 2015. We just played for fun then played in a couple small local tourneys. That led to us creating a league here in my hometown of Klamath Falls Oregon. I fell in love with the game and competing and the rest is history.
