Andy Noyes

I am ACL Pro Andy Noyes from the Atlantic Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. I started after being an avid bowler.

Ashley Brown

I am TeamAddicts Brand Ambassador Ashley Brown from the Mid-South Conference and this is my story of how I started playing cornhole. I got started playing cornhole in a social league with friends and quickly caught the bug. I bought some bags and a set of boards and started hauling them around with me to my other league sports - kickball and softball at the time. My friends and teammates were always practicing in between games and I just loved playing - I needed more cornhole in my life! I wandered into an ACL Regional back in October 2021, not realizing how quickly I'd be put to shame... And I was. To this day, my cornhole friends and I still joke about how awful I was at that Regional ("It was real bad..."), but it just made me work harder, practice longer and want it more! Playing this game has been difficult, but rewarding, and I love it. I guess you can say I'm a #CornholeAddict

Allan Rockwell

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.

Brandon Corwin

I am ACL Pro Brandon Corwin from the Mid-East Conference and this is my story of how and when I started playing cornhole and worked my way up to an ACL Pro. I started playing about 12 years ago while home on leave from the military. My buddy asked me to play some Cornhole with him and immediately I had the same response as many others when first asked to play Cornhole “WTH is wrong with you?” LOL. After figuring out what he was talking about I was hooked. We eventually started a blind draw league at our local tavern in Mansfield, Ohio when I finished my active duty stent. I learned very quickly that I had a hell of a lot of work to do because I was getting my butt kicked. Being super competitive in no matter what I do, I started training if you will? I would play in as many blind draws and local tournaments that I could find as well as play in the back yard as much as possible. That eventually got me to where I’m at today. I am a third year ACL Pro and 2018-2019 ACL Pro invitational champion. I’m ready for this years action.
IT’S GO TIME!!!
