Ashley Brown

I am TeamAddicts Brand Ambassador Ashley Brown from the Mid-South Conference and this is my story of how I started playing cornhole. I got started playing cornhole in a social league with friends and quickly caught the bug. I bought some bags and a set of boards and started hauling them around with me to my other league sports - kickball and softball at the time. My friends and teammates were always practicing in between games and I just loved playing - I needed more cornhole in my life! I wandered into an ACL Regional back in October 2021, not realizing how quickly I'd be put to shame... And I was. To this day, my cornhole friends and I still joke about how awful I was at that Regional ("It was real bad..."), but it just made me work harder, practice longer and want it more! Playing this game has been difficult, but rewarding, and I love it. I guess you can say I'm a #CornholeAddict

Megan Maupin

I am ACL Pro Megan Maupin from the Mid South Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the ACL.

I was 12 years old and my dad built a set of boards. I sucked when I first started but I kept practicing and kept getting better. I decided to try out an actual tournament where I met Troy Houser and he introduced me to the ACO. I played ACO for about 5 or 6 years. While playing the ACO, I started playing ACL as well. I realized how much the ACL has grown the game of cornhole and decided it was time to make the switch and I’m blessed to be able to call myself an ACL Pro.

Like many, I started in the backyard with friends. I was beating them in horseshoes so they pulled out the game cornhole. I enjoyed the game so much that I bought my own set and practiced a lot until I started beating them at that also.
