Whether it was making a diving play at shortstop, belting a towering home run over the fence at Don Gibbens Field, or even motivating his teammates, Bear fans know they had a gem. Well Landry, The Orange Leader’s Baseball Player of the Year in 2004, carried that stout determination with him and has turned in a remarkable four-year stint at McNeese State University. Landry has been a starter all four seasons for the Cowboys. He put up outstanding numbers his first three years on campus. However, his senior year is the one he’ll remember the most. The shortstop has put together a .349 batting average, which is second among the team of starters. He leads the Cowboys with 58 hits and has five home runs and 33 runs batted in.
77 Posted May 1, 2009 Report Posted May 1, 2009 Shon broke his collarbone last week in a game with Texas State out for the rest of the season. Big loss for the Cowboys.
Gabe Posted May 1, 2009 Author Report Posted May 1, 2009 Don't count him out yet. He will still try to play at some point this year and I got my money on Shon. He is a player.
td Posted May 2, 2009 Report Posted May 2, 2009 If anyone can come back it's Shon. I hope that my boys play the game as hard and with as much intensity as Shon does.

Hang around Gabe and hopefully in a few years you will have a few more like Shon coming up.
Gabe Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Posted May 2, 2009 I don't think I'm going anywhere anytime soon, and I'm waiting for players like that again. Only a few like that these days.
td Posted May 2, 2009 Report Posted May 2, 2009 I don't think I'm going anywhere anytime soon, and I'm waiting for players like that again. Only a few like that these days. I've told Shon this in the past and it still stands, I would love for him to come and coach and teach with me and the other guys I work with. He is welcome anytime he is ready. Hopefully for his sake he will be too busy this summer but he is welcome even if for one practice. He works really good with young kids and they seem to respond to him.
td Posted May 2, 2009 Report Posted May 2, 2009 Speaking of the Landry boys, being around Shay (sp) this year was a real treat. He has worked into a really good coach. They are both welcome to come work with my young ones anytime. We were happy to have Coach Landry at WOS this year and we hope to have him back.

Bears Posted May 2, 2009 Report Posted May 2, 2009 Look for Shon to sign a Free Agent contract as soon as the McNeese season is over, then he will be headed to rookie ball.

There was one that played with the same intensity and she is a girl and they are cousins. I am really proud of my two newphews, Shay and Shon. Not because of sports but because both of them have college degree's. Tell you a little story about Shon. When he was little we could not keep clothes on that boy. He loved to run around naked. ;D ;D ;D

GoDeweyPirates Posted May 4, 2009 Report Posted May 4, 2009 If anyone can comeback early, it will be Shon. He has given 100% and then some ever since Little League. Shon, Zane Williams, The Milligan brothers and some other young men were fun to watch when they played together at Memorial and then for the Green Hornets summer league team. Glad to see Shon and Zane are still playing with intensity and excitement. They were a pleasure to watch. Wish them both continued success.
