OSKALOOSA — William Penn Athletics Director Grant Farris has announced the resignation of Sheawn Bedford as the Head Women’s Basketball Coach.

Bedford took the reins of the program midway through the 2024-2025 campaign, leading the Statesmen to a 9-35 record during his tenure, including a 6-30 mark in the Heart of America Athletic Conference.  He coached two players to all-Heart honors, while also guiding three NAIA Scholar-Athletes and one Heart Scholar-Athlete.

“We appreciate the work and dedication Coach Bedford has given to our women’s basketball program during his time with us,” Farris said.  “He has invested a great deal into our student-athletes and the program as a whole, and we are thankful for his efforts.  We wish him the best moving forward and success in his future endeavors.”
