A former Lawrenceville Indian basketball great is returning to southeastern Illinois to continue his career.

Landon Sanders has announced via Instagram that he is transferring to Olney Central College (OCC) to play for the Blue Knights in the future.

He averaged just over 2 points-per-game in 19 games played and had a high of 14 points for CLC.

Sanders was an All-Little Illini Conference sharpshooter during his career at LHS averaging about 12 points per game.
