John Fuentez

Professional Cornhole Player

ACL Pro for Mid-West Conference

John Fuentez's Biography
I am ACL Pro John Fuentez from the Mid-West Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. I think I started with just playing at family gatherings. We always got the 3 ft. boards and corn bags out. Then a guy started a wiffleball league in my hometown and between games we always played bags. After that people started actually having tournaments here and there. I was cutting my partner Adrian Knappers hair one day in the barbershop. He said he wanted to try it out about 2 1/2 years ago. I think he practiced almost every day for a year, took his beatings in the game, got way better. He went to his first tournament with one of our buddies Jacob Nance and then me and Adrian started traveling last November. And here we are now. ACL PROS!!!!

RANDOM CORNHOLE PROFESSIONALS

Drew Brown
ACL Pro for SouthEast Conference
I am ACL Pro Drew Brown from SouthEast Conference the and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player at the American Cornhole League. I grew up playing baseball year round in high school. I was a very aggressive pitcher/3rd baseman and had a passion for winning all my life. During my senior year I contracted mononucleosis and was told by doctors that it was the worst case they had seen in almost 35 years of practice. I went from 155 lbs to 125 lbs in just over a month and they rushed me to the hospital twice within that month to be sure I was getting the right amount of fluids. I also missed my last month of my senior year of high school but I was fortunate enough to be released on the day of graduation and was given the "OK" from doctors to attend the ceremony. After high school I went on to play college ball at Bethany College, but quickly knew I didn't have the strength that I once had. In an effort to focus on my health and devote more to my studies, I transferred to a school closer to home. I needed something to keep my competitive edge going and that is when I turned to cornhole. My cousin, Wes Phillipson, brought boards to our thanksgiving dinner one year and needless to say I was very much a beginner player. He beat me in every game that we played that year and I there was only one way I knew how to respond. PRACTICE. All winter long and through the summer I practiced everyday, even tying the chandelier to the banister with a rope in my mom's house when it was cold out so I could play indoors. I wanted to make sure at the next family function I wouldn't be able to be beat so that I had bragging rights at the dinner table. Sure enough my dedication paid off. So much so that I thought that I was one of the best in the state at that point taking down local tournaments in my hometown. After that I started googling tournaments and I would take my buddies CJ and Jake Blanchard to play cornhole across the state just to play in tournaments. That was when I ran into the unstoppable duo of Matt Guy and Randy Atha in Dublin Ohio at the Irish festival. They beat us 21-0 but I quickly received word on who these two were in the cornhole world. That was who I wanted to be. This is where a new chapter began and my search to become one of the household names in cornhole started. I knew I had a lot of work to do to get where I needed to become one of the best. During one of my google searches, I found a tournament in West Virginia and got introduced to my good friend, Ted Dillon. He is the one that I give a lot of credit to, for he was the first person to take a chance on me as a player and be my partner. It also helped that he ran an abundance of regional tournaments where I slowly started to meet and play against today's most familiar faces. Now after over 10 years of playing against the best in the world, I believe I am ready to prove to everyone that I have what it takes.

Adam Clark
ACL Pro for Carolina Conference
I am ACL Pro Adam Clark 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. My dad introduced me to the game about 10 years ago and it all started just for fun. I’m such a competitive person that I started to put a lot of time into the game and learn how to play no matter the competition. Once I was able to win local tourneys I started hearing about a professional league about 2 hours away and I started traveling to those to find out I wasn’t as good as I thought. From there I elevated my game to the highest level and that’s why I have this opportunity to play in the ACL Pro Division against the best in the world!

I am ACL Pro Richard Bushway from the Northeast Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. It all started some time in October 2017. A cousin of mine told me that they play a cornhole tournament on Wednesdays at the winners circle. I had no idea what cornhole was and ended up going after that I was hooked. Now you can see me play anywhere in the northeast.

Eric Ryder
ACL Pro for Carolina Conference
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.
