JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — It's almost 8 p.m. on a Wednesday at Eagle's View Academy's gym 

A man stands alone, cornhole bag in hand, the hole in the board opposite him in his eye.

It's after hours for Daryl Bizier, the Eagle's View baseball coach just wrapped up practice and is getting ready to start another.

"Cornhole is almost exactly like baseball," Bizier said with a smile.

"You go 4-4 in a game the next day you go 0-4. Cornhole is the same way one day you can't miss a bag the next day you can't make one," he added. 

Bizier is an American Cornhole League (ACL) rookie. It's the top professional league in the world, who's national tournaments are showcased on ESPN.

"You're going against guys you watched on TV you know them a little bit, but not too much I mean I travel with some of the greatest players in the world," Bizier said. 

Bizier qualified for the ACL through local tournaments.
