SUFFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — Cornhole is known as ‘the backyard game’ by many, but to Suffolk’s Devon Harbaugh, it’s his way of life.
“The things cornhole has done for me is truly amazing,” Harbaugh said. “I never thought I’d be the place I’d been or be on tv for cornhole at that.”
Imagine starting from your parents camp, growing up in Pennsylvania, to now being on the worldwide leader in sports, ESPN and being the top-ranked Open Standings player in United States.
“[Cornhole] has taken us to Australia and Europe,” Harbaugh said. “I’ve been to just about every state in the United States for tournaments.”
Devon is grateful for the journey cornhole has given him. He said he would’ve never expected to be at this point of the game, but added it’s important to listen to your teammates and opponents. Most of all, be nice.
“You never know what someone you’re playing against is going through,” Harbaugh said. “Just be nice to them, it could help them want to keep playing and coming back.”
