Derek Fateiger

I am ACL Pro Derek Fateiger 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. When I was in high school me and my step dad heard about a cornhole league close by. We thought we were good and it sounded fun. Turns out we weren't very good. Me being competitive pushed me to get better and here we are 10 years later.

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!

Hunter Simington

I am ACL Pro Hunter Simington from the Mountain North Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. I grew up in the great state of Iowa, patron state of tossing corn. In 2006 I attended Iowa State University where I was first introduced to cornhole; tossing with friends in the backyard and in the tailgating lots before football games. After college I moved to Idaho where I started seeking out any and all cornhole tournaments and leagues. I’ve been climbing ever since!
