What started as a simple fundraiser for the Talisi Wrestling Club has turned into a regional competition for he American Cornhole League. Brent Tennyson has been a part of the wrestling program for the last 10 years and is always searching for ways to raise money to keep the club alive for young wrestlers in Tallassee.
Tennyson and his brother, Cody, had the idea to host weekly cornhole nights at The Sports Gin. They provided a local spot for people of all ages to compete in tournaments for prizes while raising just enough money to keep the building afloat for the wrestling club.
