I am ACL Pro J Scott Collins from the Mid-East Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. I started just like any one else in the backyard. After seeing one of the ACL programs on ESPN I started to throw like the people on tv. Well I quickly became better then all my friends and started to travel to tourneys alone to see how good I was. That's when reality hit.

Justin Doss

I am ACL Pro Justin Doss from the Mid-South Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. I started playing cornhole at my friends house when I was around 10 years old. We would play every now and then against each other, but I really began playing when I went to college. I went to the University of Louisville and I began to play at tailgates. My friends and I are extremely competitive and this is where the love of the game began. I always wanted to be the best and began practicing at home to get better. I saw an ESPN broadcast in the summer of 2018 and started going to local ACL events to try and compete. The inner drive to become the best keeps pushing me to improve my game each and everyday.

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.

I am ACL Pro Raul Chavez from the Southwest Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the ACL.

I starting playing cornhole while at softball tournaments and figured I was good enough to compete in a league but boy was I wrong. We got stomped our very 1st league. It made me want to work hard and that's exactly what I did. The hard work paid off because 2 years later, I am an ACL Pro!
