Quince Landry Appointed Head Groundskeeper

Quince Landry has been appointed the head groundskeeper for the Biloxi Shuckers, the club announced Friday. Landry takes over for Will Lairamore after working as the assistant groundskeeper for the Shuckers during the 2017 season.
"It's remarkable, I'm very honored to be given this opportunity," said Landry. "It's a great source of pride to come in and work for something that is bigger than yourself."
"Quince checked all of our boxes when our groundskeeper position became available," said Shuckers General Manager Hunter Reed. "The fact that he is familiar with the front office, the coaching staff and brings a wealth of experience made him the right fit to be our head groundskeeper."
Landry graduated from LSU with a B.S. in Plant and Soil Systems with a concentration in Turf Management. A native of Lake Charles, LA, he spent his entire time at LSU in the turf management program, aiding in the maintenance of the Skip Bertman Field at Alex Box Stadium, Tigers Stadium, the LSU football practice fields, softball fields and soccer fields.
Along with his involvement at LSU, Quince worked as a member of the grounds crew at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin, home of the Green Bay Packers. He also spent a summer as a part of the grounds crew for the Texas Rangers, learning from Dennis Klein, who has been the head groundskeeper at Globe Life Park since May 2006.
