Emory Parker
SouthEast ConferenceMost Memorable Moment:
1a - the first major win I had in Doubles in 2016 with then partner Anthony Reul. This proved to me that I belonged and could compete with the best. 1b - The first national in Fort Lauderdale (2019) where my partner Matthew Sorrells and I came out of nowhere to make the finals. Ultimately coming up two points short, but what a fun day of cornhole it was.

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."
