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!

Lea Kitzmiller

I am ACL Pro Lea Kitzmiller from the Mid-East Conference and this is my story of how and when I started playing cornhole and worked my way up to an ACL Pro. I didn't even know what cornhole was until a little over 6 yrs ago when I met my husband, Mike Kitzmiller. His family would play the game during family picnics. About 6 months later we found a local random draw tournament at the Moose and after that I was hooked. We started playing more and more and I start to get better. The better I got the more competitive I got as well. I am a very competitive and hate to lose. I have been playing competitively now for 3 yr. The 2018/19 Season was my 1st full ACL Season and I enjoyed every minute of playing and meeting new people all from all over the country.

Miguel Villa

I am ACL Pro Miguel Villa from the Great Lakes Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. When I was in high school I used to play in my cul de sac with all my neighborhood friends for hours into the night. I Didn't start playing cornhole competitively until I found the ACL and went to my first National March 2017. I met all the regular baggers in the Chicago land area and now all come my mentors and all of them became family.

Ryan Smith

I am ACL Pro Ryan Smith 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. My brother Shawn Smith got me involved playing competitively and things basically took off from there. I wanted to be able to compete and beat the top guys in my area so I purchased a set of boards & bags to practice. About 4 years later, here I am, recognized as one of the top players in the country and striving for more.
