Sanders capped off the football program's biggest comeback in school history with a one-yard touchdown run with 32 seconds remaining, lifting the Lakers to a 42-38 victory at Clarion on Saturday. The Lakers trailed 38-14 with seconds left in the third quarter, but rattled off 28 unanswered points, capped off by the Sanders run. The freshman had his best afternoon as a Laker, rushing for a career-high 125 yards on 24 carries and scoring three touchdowns. He became the first running back all season to rush for more than 100 yards in a game.
