Trey Hunt and Michael Kline capture USA Forces Doubles title in Fort Worth

Trey Hunt and Michael Kline handled two very different kinds of pressure in Fort Worth, and both showed up on the same bracket. They opened the USA Forces Doubles draw with a 22-4 rout of Brent Dicharry and Gerald Guidry, then kept moving with a 21-9 win over Mike Anderson and Nicholas Clough before closing one side of the bracket with a 22-0 shutout of Walter Farris and Harris Henry.

That kind of scoreboard control can make a bracket look easy, but the final told a different story. Hunt and Kline met Anderson and Clough again in the championship match and had to grind through a 21-19 finish to secure the title. After three lopsided wins, the final became a test of nerve, not dominance. In cornhole terms, a two-point championship usually comes down to who stays cleaner late, who avoids the bad miss, and which team can keep the bags in play when every throw starts to matter twice as much.

The run matters because it showed more than raw scoring. Hunt and Kline did not just run hot against weaker opposition and coast into the end. They beat Anderson and Clough once by 21-9, then had to solve the same pairing again when the bracket tightened and the title was on the line. That is the part that separates a good weekend from a real championship run: the ability to dominate when the matchup allows it, then recalibrate when the margin disappears. Fort Worth gave them both looks, and they answered both.

The title came during the 2026 Fort Worth Signature Open at Will Rogers Memorial Center, a June 5-7 stop that the American Cornhole League said carried more than $100,000 guaranteed in prizes and cash payouts. Open events ran all three days while pro competition featured Week 3 of ACL Pro Teams action, making the weekend one of the biggest ACL stages on the calendar. The broader setting only sharpened the achievement: Hunt and Kline won a bracket inside a crowded Fort Worth showcase that mixed open play, pro attention, and plenty of pressure.

Hunt also brought a known ACL pedigree into the run. CornholeDB lists the Collinsville, Mississippi player, age 36, as an ACL Pro since 2021 and a Kontraband Athletics bag sponsor athlete, while ACL player records show Kline had already surfaced in Cleveland Signature Open USA Forces Doubles action earlier in 2026. Fort Worth was the cleaner statement, though: after blowing through the early rounds, Hunt and Kline proved they could still close when the final turned tight.
