Derek Singleton

I am ACL Pro Derek Singleton from the Great Lakes Conference and this is my story of how and when I started playing cornhole and worked my way up to 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."

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.

Tommy Clark
