Samantha Finley's Cornhole Biography

I am ACL Pro Samantha Finley from the Southeast Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the ACL. I started off playing in the backyard and local tournaments about 11-12 years ago. My mom went to work in Ohio where she met Christine Papcke and we really started getting into it. I have been playing competitively for about 8 years now.

I am Kyle Mayday Malone 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. My favorite aspect about this sport is the amazing people it has brought into my life. It’s not just a group of people, it’s a family. When I first started at a local bar as no more than an amateur, the crowd welcomed me and approached me with tips and advice to help my game. Now from there I’m on the pro circuit looking to be a world champion. Outside of that though my main hobbies are softball and fishing naturally since I do live in Florida. Without cornhole I honestly do not know what I would do on the weekends or even during the week anymore. At this point, I couldn’t imagine not playing.

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.

I am ACL Pro Steven Bernacet from the Great Lakes Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the ACL. I started playing cornhole after going to a party and seeing that my skill level was slightly above the level that everyone else was playing at. After that night, I went home and searched YouTube to find out more about the sport. The first videos I watched were of Matt Guy. It was awesome seeing him throw bag after bag in the hole. After I watched more videos, I decided to start playing in some local tournaments to see if I could compete at that level. I quickly realized that I was becoming better and progressing much faster than I anticipated. As I was looking for more tournaments to play in, I found that there was a cornhole organization hosting a tournament that weekend. I signed up and drove about 3 hours away to my first regional. As soon as I was ready to play my first organized game ever, I saw Matt Guy standing at my board ready to go. Of course, with my nerves and with the initial shock of the G.O.A.T. standing so close to me, I ended up losing that game. After that tournament, being the passionate and determined person that I am, I worked harder and was officially addicted to cornhole.
