Speak Up: Milton’s Thomas a cornhole pro and ambassador for sport

Posted

When some people hear the word “cornhole,” they chuckle and think it’s a game that can’t be taken seriously. Well, funny name or not, Rudy Thomas, 34, of Milton, has played it professionally for three years and recently organized a 26-team, 52-player league called the “Usual Suspects,” whose members take to the boards each Tuesday at the Milford Elks Lodge. Mr. Thomas said that, much like horseshoes, pickleball, bowling or even golf, cornhole can be considered a “lifetime” sport that can be played into one’s golden years.
