Bret Guy

I am ACO Pro Bret Guy from the Heartland Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole Organization. I got started playing cornhole when I was 11 years old. My dad (Matt Guy) was practicing in my grandpa's barn one day and I walked in to see what he was doing. I asked him if I could throw with him and I picked the throwing style up pretty much immediately and have been playing ever since.

Tyler Lugo

I am ACL Pro Tyler Lugo from the Northeast Conference and this is my story of how and when I started playing cornhole and worked my way up to an ACL Pro. I’m a high school senior from New Britain, CT. My favorite bags are GameChangers and Slide-Rites. My Favorite shot is block and my Favorite trick shot is blindfolded. I play in a weekly league at Central Connecticut Cornhole and I practice every day that I can. My Uncle introduced the game to me about 2 years ago and I have been addicted ever since. So far, my biggest and most favorite accomplishment was being on ESPN.

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."
