Head Coach Sean LeBeauf
Sean Lebeauf
Sean LeBeauf’s playing career started at Hahnville High School in Boutte, La. He went on to play basketball for the nationally-ranked team at University of Montevallo, Ala., where he earned his bachelor’s of business administration in accounting. He started on a team that finished with three consecutive 20-win seasons.
LeBeauf has a rich coaching experience. He led the girl’s basketball team at Booker T. Washington High School in Tulsa, Okla., to a city championship in his first coaching position. While there, he also coached the Tulsa Rebels Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) boys team. That team won the national AAU title in 1997 and finished fourth in the nation the following year. During this time, LeBeauf was nominated for the Sallie Mae Award that recognizes the Elementary/Secondary First Year Teacher of the Year.
From there, LeBeauf relocated to Louisiana where he coached at Destrehan High School (1998-99) and Archbishop Shaw High School (1999-2003). While at Archbishop Shaw, he helped lead the team to back-to-back state championship appearances. His squad won the state title with a record of 34-6 in 2000 and finished as 2001 runners-up with a 31-5 mark.
LeBeauf moved on to a stint at Paris Junior College, helping Coach Bill Foy and the men’s basketball team to a runner-up finish in the Region XIV tournament (26-7), one win shy of going to the NJCAA National Tournament and at that time the best record in school history. He then moved on to Centenary College in Shreveport, La., for one year.
The next four years, prior to coming to PJC, was spent at Southern University in Baton Rouge, La. While there, the men’s basketball team won a Southwestern Athletic Conference championship and the 2006 Historical Black Colleges and Universities National Championship.
“We’ve done a good job progressing each year with the women’s basketball program here at PJC,” said LeBeauf. “We have made history for two consecutive years, and we continue to make strides forward.
“Our goal is to bring a championship to the Paris community, and we will be relentless in those efforts. This community deserves that kind of determination and focus.”
