I am ACL Pro John Fuentez from the Mid-West Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. I think I started with just playing at family gatherings. We always got the 3 ft. boards and corn bags out. Then a guy started a wiffleball league in my hometown and between games we always played bags. After that people started actually having tournaments here and there. I was cutting my partner Adrian Knappers hair one day in the barbershop. He said he wanted to try it out about 2 1/2 years ago. I think he practiced almost every day for a year, took his beatings in the game, got way better. He went to his first tournament with one of our buddies Jacob Nance and then me and Adrian started traveling last November. And here we are now. ACL PROS!!!!

I am ACL Pro Jackie Sayasone from the Midwest Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the American Cornhole League. I was playing at a local bar league, when I met some players that told me about a blind draw event. I thought I was good at cornhole because I was the one who always won at backyard parties or tailgates. So I showed up to my first ACL event and kind of laughed at everyone that had their own bags.
Well, I got my butt whooped and was annoyed. I didn't want to see the disappointment when a player drew me, lol -so as competitive as I am, I decided to buy my own set of bags and practice on my own time. It took me a week to get it all down. Since then I just kept growing as a player. I went out to compete at the World Championships last season, there was a really strong, and special cornhole culture there, and I knew I wanted to be a part of that vibe. Eight months later, here I am! 🙂
Depends on what my opponent is throwing & what type of player they are.
