The ACO Cornhole Classic is in the history books!!

Despite the weather and having to move next door to make this event happen we managed to get it done!! We had a few visitors come down and play this past weekend. Darin Hill(#1 seed), Brandon Hill, and none other than Jack Stagge(the man who beat matt guy on fountain square a month ago). Darin Hill was knocked out 1st round of the bracket, by new comer Jimmy Stowe, in a 3 game nail biter. Jack Stagge was down 1 game and down 19-5 in the 2nd before putting the stagge hammer down and coming back to defeat josh bailey(another 1st time topgun player) in the match of 3. Brandon and Jack ran out of steam in the final 8. Jack being defeated by Jason Schwab and Hill defeated by Justin Cook. The rest of the matches all pretty much went 3 games and were very tight. It all came down to Justin Cook vs. Jason"The Rooster" Schwab
