The Acadiana Cane Cutters have announced that head coach Lonny Landry, who has guided the

“I am really grateful that (team owners) Richard and Sandi Chalmers have asked me once again to lead the Cane Cutters for another season,” Landry said.  “I am really looking forward to our upcoming season and excited about the talent that we have coming to Acadiana this summer.  Once again, I am appreciative of our fan base that has followed us the last three summers, and look forward to seeing all you Cane Cutter fans out again for another successful season.” 

Cane Cutters general manager Bill Levy said the team is fortunate to get Landry back the 2014 season.

“I think it speaks volumes about this organization, our ownership, this area, and our fan base that Coach Landry is so eager to return,” Levy said. “Not only is he an excellent baseball mind, but he is great with our fans and in the community.”
