Eric Ryder

I am ACL Pro Eric Ryder from the Carolina Conference and this is my story of how and when I started playing cornhole and worked my way up to an ACL Pro. Back in 2009 I was invited to a friends house for a cookout. He had some cornhole boards made and pulled them out and explained the game to me. I had never heard of cornhole prior to that day. We played all afternoon and I was hooked. I bought my first set of 2x4/plywood Red Sox boards with corn bags and started playing in the neighborhood with neighbors. Soon heard about a tournament that Trey and I would play in and get our butts handed to us. We met some good players and learned about throwing a flat bag and resin bags and how there were tournaments every week in the area. It was at that point I knew this was a game I would be playing for a very long time.

Matthew Morton

I'm 17 years old and started playing cornhole in Driver, VA with my dad when I was 11. We played $2 blind draws for fun with all the money going to charity. I loved playing and it gave me and my dad a chance to spend a lot of time together so we started going to different places for blind draws. After I started doing well, we started playing in the organized leagues and traveling for some bigger tournaments. I eventually decided to become an ACL Pro last season so I could play regularly against the best competition in the world.

I had a great year in my first season as an ACL Pro, with some really great finishes and getting to appear on ESPNs first ever live broadcast of an ESPN event in the Pro Doubles World Championships. I’m looking forward to another great season in 2020!

Derek Fateiger

I am ACL Pro Derek Fateiger from the Carolina 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 in high school me and my step dad heard about a cornhole league close by. We thought we were good and it sounded fun. Turns out we weren't very good. Me being competitive pushed me to get better and here we are 10 years later.

Adrian Johnson

I am ACL Pro Adrian Johnson from the Atlantic Conference and this is my story of how and when I started playing cornhole and worked my way up to an ACL Pro. I’ve always been very competitive in sports so when I found out about Cornhole, I instantly fell in love with the game. I loved how competitive it is but once I started traveling, the real joy came from all the great people I met along the journey.
