Emory Parker

I am Emory Parker 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. Went to South Bend, Indiana when I was 11 for a Florida State - Notre Dame football game. I had never seen cornhole before that and immediately fell in love. Upon returning home I built a set of boards with my Dad and it became a staple at our tailgates indefinitely. After graduating from Florida State, I moved to South Florida where I was looking for ways to meet people. I ran across South Florida Cornhole and went out for my first tournament that night. The rest was history as I began traveling out of town for tournaments and competing against the best in the state, and eventually the country.

As much as I love competing, for me Cornhole is all about the people you meet. Everyone has so much fun and enjoys being around one another. I cannot say enough about the people I have met from this game AKA "my cornhole fam."

Andrew Clark

I am ACL Pro Andrew Clark from the Mountain North Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. Cornhole for me began on Camping trips where we would run mini tournaments and I wasn’t sure what I was doing. I quickly picked it up after finishing playing college baseball as I needed something to feed my competitive side of me. After playing competitively for almost 2 years, I decided to get my pro card and test my skills against the best.

Scott Schultz

I am ACL Pro Scott Schultz from the Southeast Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. I began playing Cornhole while I was at UCF with some of my buddies. I was hooked from there and with a competitive side from my younger days of competing in tournaments almost every weekend for bowling, I knew this was something that I wanted to pursue.
I won multiple state championships in NY for high school, regional tournaments for the northeast, many finals appearances from ages 14-21, shot my first 300 game when I was 15 at the largest tournament of the year on the east coast, had numerous 300s and 800 series.. But nothing compared to bowling for a team in college and traveling the country, I bowled my first 2 years and held the highest average among rookies in the nation for a smaller school called Briarcliffe College on Long Island in NY, where I grew up. Then I moved to Orlando to join the top ranked college team in the country for 2 years. Since then, I have lived in Florida (mostly in Orlando and West Palm Beach) and recently moved to the Jacksonville area.
I learned my stance and how to throw from several different people. First, John Artz and Danny Dow in Orlando showed me some things, then after a little bit, Rosie Streker taught me how to hold the bag the way that I still do today.
I’d like to thank John, Danny and Rosie as well as Davis Streker for pushing me to be better. Davis was the person that pushed for me to start traveling in this game and try to become a pro. He has always helped anyone that wants to learn and get better, he spends almost all of his spare time running tournaments and helping new players! Thank you!
For the past 5 years or so, I have been competing in Cornhole at the highest level against the very best players in the world. I have won and placed in some very large tournaments around the nation over the years, including an ACL national title in crew while playing on ESPN. I am happy to be an ambassador for the game of Cornhole while we are still in the pioneering stages of it becoming one of the most popular games played around the world.
I earned pro status back in 2015 and look forward to continue representing this game with the highest integrity on the highest level for some time to come.
Look out this year for me and my partner Dalton Mcklem in doubles this season! We’re ready to make some noise!

Len Hiatt

I am ACL Pro Len Hiatt from the Northwest Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the ACL. In 2016 a friend took a business trip to Ohio. While at his work conference, he played cornhole as a team builder. He brought the game home to WA. It was the first time that I or any of my friends had ever seen it. We played all summer. That fall, I started the Cowlitz County Cornhole League and have been playing ever since.
