Greyson Waller's Cornhole Biography

John Kitchin

I am ACL Pro John Kitchin 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 started playing cornhole in Philadelphia, PA during tailgates at professional sporting events. I was approached by a co-worker who was interested into getting me out to his local league on Tuesday Nights where they played $5-$10 Blind Draws. I instantly feel in love with the game and what competitive cornhole seemed like at the time. After I started doing well, I branched out playing in the more organized leagues & tournaments which led to traveling nationally to test myself against the countries best.
After 1 year of traveling, I found myself in a position to qualify as a Pro in 2016. After two seasons I made the jump to becoming an ACL Pro. I’d classify my years as an ACL Pro to be currently successful in regard to accolades but was fulfilled the most by representing our small section of the cornhole world and setting the example that truly “Anyone can play, anyone can win”.

CONGRATULATIONS to John for winning the 2019 Devour Man of the Year award!

Vince Pacione

I am ACL Pro Vince Pacione from the Great Lakes Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the ACL. I first started playing bags when I was 10 years old. I played in my first adult tournament at the age of 13 and in that same year I won my first singles tournament. Over the years I just played in small tournaments until Chris Novy picked me up at the age of 21 and started bringing me to tournaments with him. Our very first tournament we played together we won and it just got better from there. Over the years I met tons of new players and even adapted some of my new throw styles/releases around those players. Now the goal is to win as many nationals as possible and to make a name for myself to show to my son when he gets older.

Kamryn Belvin

Matthew Sorrells

I am Matthew Sorrells aka Short Shorts 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. When I was fourteen years old I picked up a cornhole bag for the first time. I was at Redneck Riviera. A place where people drive boats to hangout and play cornhole. To nobody’s surprise I was beaten badly by Nick Ramsey and Chuck Martin, two local legends. I became motivated to improve my game and purchased my first set of cornhole boards. This led to practice, practice, and you guessed it more practice. Here I am four years later an ACL pro and serious competitor in every tournament I attend. I could not be more thankful for this opportunity.

Dean Norton

I am ACL Pro Dean Norton from the Northwest Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the ACL

The first time a I played cornhole was about 2 years ago in the backyard at my parents house at a family BBQ. I played for hours that day and just was not very good at it. My competitive side took over a little bit and I went out and bought regulation boards and bags. As soon as I got everything in the mail I took a week of vacation off work and I played 7 days straight about 12 hours a day and I was finally able to throw a flat bag. I watched a ton of cornhole videos on you tube and any where else I could find it to try and learn the strategy aspect of the game. I find now that the more I practice the better I continue to get. It has sense took off for me and I am enjoying every minute of it. The people that I have met throughout my travels is honestly the best part.
