Jim Glasscock's Cornhole Biography

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.

Josh Kipple

I am TeamAddicts Brand Ambassador Josh Kipple from the Mid-East Conference and this is my story of how I started playing cornhole.
I started out just playing at a campground we have a permanent site at and really enjoyed playing . From there I went to my first bigger tournament which was a ACL regional and quickly realized that I was not playing at camp anymore ! Everyone there was so good and making amazing shots and I was like how .. wait .. what?? So that's when I said I can do that and over the last year I put a lot of time and dedication to the sport and started winning a lot of tournaments including some regionals.

Lori Dool

I am ACL Pro Lori Dool from the Southeast Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the ACL. I started playing Cornhole in college to win gift cards at Buffalo Wild Wings on football Sundays but did not start playing competitively with South Florida Cornhole until November 2017. Cornhole is an engaging sport that incorporates talent, skill, and mental toughness that has taken this hobby to something that I never expected. To be an ACL Pro is an incredible opportunity to travel, meet some of the best people, and to inspire others to play.

Eli Stevens

I am ACL Pro Eli Stevens from the Mid-East Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. Went from beating up on everyone at back yard events to hustling folks at local bars until I met Dave Weiser and got into one of his leagues. That’s when I got introduced to competitive Cornhole. I got my ass kicked at first now about 7 years later I’m one of the best In the Cleveland area

Ashley Brown

I am TeamAddicts Brand Ambassador Ashley Brown from the Mid-South Conference and this is my story of how I started playing cornhole. I got started playing cornhole in a social league with friends and quickly caught the bug. I bought some bags and a set of boards and started hauling them around with me to my other league sports - kickball and softball at the time. My friends and teammates were always practicing in between games and I just loved playing - I needed more cornhole in my life! I wandered into an ACL Regional back in October 2021, not realizing how quickly I'd be put to shame... And I was. To this day, my cornhole friends and I still joke about how awful I was at that Regional ("It was real bad..."), but it just made me work harder, practice longer and want it more! Playing this game has been difficult, but rewarding, and I love it. I guess you can say I'm a #CornholeAddict

Trey Hunt

I am ACL Pro Trey Hunt from the Southeast Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the ACL.

I started playing cornhole in April 2019 and became a Pro this year, 2021. Signed with Kontraband for the 2021-22 season and my pro partner this year will be Kamryn Belvin

Josh Bordelon

I am ACL Pro Josh Bordelon from the SouthWest Conference and this is my story of how and when I started playing cornhole and worked my way up to an ACL Pro. Playing in the backyard early Summer of 2018, I decided it was time to search for some tournaments in the New Orleans area only to find that their really wasn’t much competitive. I decided to start my own league (GNO Cornhole) and it has taken off over this past year. Since then, I have traveled to a couple Conferences and Nationals to gain experience and improve my game to achieve enough points to qualify to be an ACL Pro. I am grateful for the ACL for giving me this opportunity and look forward to many great experiences along the way to improving my game as a Pro.

Wilbur McDonald

I am TeamAddicts Brand Ambassador Wilbur McDonald and this is my story of how I started playing cornhole. I started playing cornhole with one of the best people I ever met in my life who unfortunately passed away in 2017. His name was Travis Story. I moved to Virginia in search of a better life and I was fortunate to meet Travis and his family! He was playing this game with bean bags one day and I had no clue what he was doing! He invited me over and taught me the game! I fell in love with it! After he passed away, I decided that one day was going to look on google and see if there was any place that played. I found a tournament in VA Beach and decided to try it out! When I arrived I had no clue how competitive this game really was! I met Jordan Camba and Frank Modlin that day! Jordan told me of other places in the area to play and from there I was able to meet Allan Rockwell, who became a very good friend of mine as well, and I started playing competitively! Rocky was running blind draws out of Eagles Nest in Chesapeake, VA at that time! We became good friends and he would invite me on trips to ACL events he was going to so I could play too! I fell in love even more with this game and I’ve been addicted ever since!!
