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.
