100% Wrong Club To Honor Saint Augustine’s Sanders Saturday
Star Tailback Also Selected Honorable Mention Division II All-American

February 8, 2011
 
The postseason football accolades keep pouring in for senior tailback Walter Sanders (Baltimore, Md.) of Saint Augustine’s College.
 
Sanders will be honored Saturday by the 100% Wrong Club of Atlanta as its CIAA offensive player of the year. The award will be presented at the organization’s awards banquet at the Renaissance Concourse Hotel in Atlanta, Ga.
 
Each year, the 100% Wrong Club honors athletes and coaches from the four HBCU Conferences (CIAA, SIAC, MEAC and SWAC) as well as the top athletes from the University of Georgia.
 
This is the second honor that Sanders has won recently. He was also named Honorable Mention Division II All-American by the Don Hansen National Weekly Football Gazette.
 
Sanders will miss the awards presentation in Atlanta, Ga., because he will compete in the inaugural Dixie Gridiron Classic the same day at Desert Hills High School in St. George, Utah, starting at 2 p.m. ET. This will be the second college football all-star game for Sanders, who competed in the HBCU Classic in December 2010.
 
This past season, Sanders led the CIAA with 1,377 yards and 15 touchdowns, earning him league offensive player of the year honors and a spot on the All-CIAA first team. The nation’s fourth-ranked Division II rusher, Sanders led the Falcons to a 9-2 overall mark with the nine wins setting a modern school record.
 
Sanders was named to the Daktronics All-Region first team, the Don Hansen All-Super Region I second team and the Boxtorow.com/HBCU All-America team. He was also a candidate for the Harlon Hill Trophy which is given to the Division II player of the year. Sanders is the Falcons first 1,000-yard rusher in the modern era.
