The American Cornhole League is hosting its fourth annual Johnsonville SuperHole IV Preliminary at 5:30 p.m. on Friday at Dickies Arena.

The event is free to attend for the public with doors opening at 4:30 p.m. and no reserved seating. The cornhole competition will also air on ESPN 2 at 8 p.m. The celebrity-pro tournament will be first, followed by the ProShootout series.

The American Cornhole League was established in 2016 and showcases the best cornhole players in the world. Since its creation, the league has had broadcast deals with CBS and ESPN.

The Johnsonville SuperHole IV competition involves celebrities teaming up with professional players for a cash prize for charity. Last year’s champions were Doug Flutie and Matt Guy who won a prize pool of $100K.

The winner of this round will advance in hopes of making it to the ACL SuperHole IV Championship in August.

The celebrities participating in the preliminary are Dallas resident and fitness model Paige Hathaway, Savannah Bananas player Jackson Olson, fitness instructor Kendall Toole, and former Disney Channel Star Christy Carlson Romano.
