Justin Doss's Cornhole Biography

Tae Harris

I am ACL Pro Tae Harris from the Mountain South Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the ACL. Started playing when I was around 10 years old as a recreational player. We found competitive cornhole around 2017 and have been working to master the sport ever since.

Megan Maupin

I am ACL Pro Megan Maupin from the Mid South Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the ACL.

I was 12 years old and my dad built a set of boards. I sucked when I first started but I kept practicing and kept getting better. I decided to try out an actual tournament where I met Troy Houser and he introduced me to the ACO. I played ACO for about 5 or 6 years. While playing the ACO, I started playing ACL as well. I realized how much the ACL has grown the game of cornhole and decided it was time to make the switch and I’m blessed to be able to call myself an ACL Pro.

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."

Eric Tscherne

I am ACL Pro Eric Tscherne from the West Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the ACL.
From Encinitas, CA, Eric Tscherne is a 1st year ACL Pro. Originally from Twinsburg, Ohio, Tscherne graduated from the University of Cincinnati and moved to Southern California in 1999.

Eric was introduced to the game of cornhole 7 years ago while camping with his father and son YMCA Adventure Guides tribe The Mighty Wappo of the Redhawk Nation. His passion and love for the game grew from here as he went on to host several charity events and tournaments while camping with this group. This lead to hosting events for friends and neighbors locally in North County San Diego via his 4 In Cornhole club.

In 2017 he started playing more regionally with Dirty Bags. From here his game grew considerably. Tscherne's game really took form in the 2019-2020 season. He was committed to playing top level cornhole and traveling. Covid 19 did not stop Eric. He spent the initial months playing many virtual tournaments and performing very well. As restrictions lifted, Tscherne came out hot and won his first San Diego Advanced Regional in June 2020, besting a field of 4 current ACL Pros and 3 more who would become pros for the 2020-21 season. Tscherne carried that momentum into the ACL World Championships in Rock Hill, SC.. He qualified on Sunday via the 1st ACL Pro Qualifier.
Tscherne is a member of Team Ultra having thrown Ultra Bags for most of his career. His favorite bag is the Viper. For the 2020-21 ACL Pro season, Tscherne is teaming with Andrew Robinson. Robinson and Tscherne have partnered in the past as both players were coming up. Tscherne has claimed a singles Regional victory in the 2020-21 Season and is looking for more.

Tscherne is married to a supportive wife Geri. They have 2 kids Madelyn and Roxton.

I started playing cornhole at my friends house when I was around 10 years old. We would play every now and then against each other, but I really began playing when I went to college. I went to the University of Louisville and I began to play at tailgates. My friends and I are extremely competitive and this is where the love of the game began. I always wanted to be the best and began practicing at home to get better. I saw an ESPN broadcast in the summer of 2018 and started going to local ACL events to try and compete. The inner drive to become the best keeps pushing me to improve my game each and everyday.
