Michael Ferreira

I am Michael Ferreira ACL Pro from the Northeast Conference and this is my story of how and when I started playing cornhole and worked my way up to an ACL Pro. I got into cornhole when I was in high school. I heard that my teacher was good at the game and I thought to myself, I could beat him. Well needless to say, I lost many times. But this is how I got hooked because I just wanted to get better. One day I finally beat him but now I wanted to go another step further and play competitively. My teacher, John Moran, started showing me all the blind draws and tournaments going on in my area and the rest is history. I love to play against the best there is and I am always tying to improve my game.

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!

Trevor Morris

I am ACL Pro Trevor Morris 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. Cornhole caught my interest several years ago. Never played competitive til 2017. I enjoy the game and the competitive atmosphere that comes with it . The family makes it that much more enjoyable as well.

Jackie Sayasone

I am ACL Pro Jackie Sayasone from the Midwest Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. I was playing at a local bar league, when I met some players that told me about a blind draw event. I thought I was good at cornhole because I was the one who always won at backyard parties or tailgates. So I showed up to my first ACL event and kind of laughed at everyone that had their own bags.
Well, I got my butt whooped and was annoyed. I didn't want to see the disappointment when a player drew me, lol -so as competitive as I am, I decided to buy my own set of bags and practice on my own time. It took me a week to get it all down. Since then I just kept growing as a player. I went out to compete at the World Championships last season, there was a really strong, and special cornhole culture there, and I knew I wanted to be a part of that vibe. Eight months later, here I am! :)
