To create a laid back environment, the Cornhole club leaders set up a club where any class of students can come during Red Zone to play cornhole competitively or non-competitively.

According to club president, co-founder, and senior Liam Aldredge, the goal of the Cornhole club is to create a place where people can go to “have fun, hang out with friends, and play cornhole.”

Club vice president, co-founder and senior Jimmy Engler agrees.

“We hope to create an environment where people can lay back, make new friends and have a good time in the mornings,” Engler said.

Along with creating this environment another one of the club’s goals is to continue their charity events.  

One such event is the student versus teachers competition that will be held later in the year.  

“[The club] did our students versus teachers last year and we raised some money for charity,” Aldredge said. “We’re hoping to do that again this year and raise even more money for the community to give back.” 

Another event that the club participates in is playing cornhole with the retirement home Peter Becker. The club’s advisor Senora Todd sets up a day after where the club goes and plays cornhole with the cornhole club at Peter Becker. 

According to member of the club and junior Carson Kolumber the club does this to “have fun” and “keep [the retirees] active.”

These events are not the only goals that the club has this year, they also hope to incorporate more underclassmen.

According to Kolumber, the club’s higher population of upperclassmen mean that the club must recruit more Freshman and Sophomores this year. 

“We’ll need to find new people to replace those seniors that are leaving,” Kolumber said. “Next year will definitely be an exciting year for the club, because we’ll never have experienced something like this before.”

Engler agrees.

“This year we’re definitely starting to get more underclassmen to fill out,” Engler said, “And we’re going to see some of our sophomores and some of our freshmen transition into being even more involved with the club.”

According to Engler, some of the strategies that the club has used so far to get the underclassmen to “show out” is to use social media and the club fair. 

“We had the club fair which was a pretty good success for us and we have an Instagram that we are trying to get people to follow,” Engler said.

According to Aldredge the club atmosphere of being laid back and relaxed occasionally shifts to become a more competitive environment. 

“It gets a little competitive sometimes, but we definitely strive for that competitiveness,” Aldredge said. 

Engler saw a similar level of competitiveness. 

“It’s not that competitive, but sometimes, if you’re friendly, you can be pretty competitive,” Engler said.
