Lori Dool

I am ACL Pro Lori Dool from the Southeast Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the ACL. I started playing Cornhole in college to win gift cards at Buffalo Wild Wings on football Sundays but did not start playing competitively with South Florida Cornhole until November 2017. Cornhole is an engaging sport that incorporates talent, skill, and mental toughness that has taken this hobby to something that I never expected. To be an ACL Pro is an incredible opportunity to travel, meet some of the best people, and to inspire others to play.

Brandon Corwin

I am ACL Pro Brandon Corwin from the Mid-East Conference and this is my story of how and when I started playing cornhole and worked my way up to an ACL Pro. I started playing about 12 years ago while home on leave from the military. My buddy asked me to play some Cornhole with him and immediately I had the same response as many others when first asked to play Cornhole “WTH is wrong with you?” LOL. After figuring out what he was talking about I was hooked. We eventually started a blind draw league at our local tavern in Mansfield, Ohio when I finished my active duty stent. I learned very quickly that I had a hell of a lot of work to do because I was getting my butt kicked. Being super competitive in no matter what I do, I started training if you will? I would play in as many blind draws and local tournaments that I could find as well as play in the back yard as much as possible. That eventually got me to where I’m at today. I am a third year ACL Pro and 2018-2019 ACL Pro invitational champion. I’m ready for this years action.
IT’S GO TIME!!!

Bret Guy

I am ACL Pro Bret Guy from the Mid-South Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. I got started playing cornhole when I was 11 years old. My dad (Matt Guy) was practicing in my grandpa's barn one day and I walked in to see what he was doing. I asked him if I could throw with him and I picked the throwing style up pretty much immediately and have been playing ever since. Formerly an ACO Pro, I switched over to an ACL Pro for this 2020/21 season.

John Kitchin

I am ACL Pro John Kitchin 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 started playing cornhole in Philadelphia, PA during tailgates at professional sporting events. I was approached by a co-worker who was interested into getting me out to his local league on Tuesday Nights where they played $5-$10 Blind Draws. I instantly feel in love with the game and what competitive cornhole seemed like at the time. After I started doing well, I branched out playing in the more organized leagues & tournaments which led to traveling nationally to test myself against the countries best.
After 1 year of traveling, I found myself in a position to qualify as a Pro in 2016. After two seasons I made the jump to becoming an ACL Pro. I’d classify my years as an ACL Pro to be currently successful in regard to accolades but was fulfilled the most by representing our small section of the cornhole world and setting the example that truly “Anyone can play, anyone can win”.

CONGRATULATIONS to John for winning the 2019 Devour Man of the Year award!
