High School Students have Obtained a College Scholarship Through an Unconventional Sport

High school students Gavin Hamann and Jaxson Remmick have been awarded athletic scholarships to Winthrop University in South Carolina, where they will compete in the game of cornhole. Cornhole is a game in which players throw bags (originally filled with corn, hence the name) into a hole on a playing board.

Both young men were surprised by the scholarship, as they are the first two students to receive it for this sport. Winthrop University has decided to dedicate attention to cornhole, especially considering that the headquarters of the cornhole league is located nearby. They have hired a **former professional player **as the school coach.
