A vacant chair on the Orono bench will have the No. 1 jersey draped over it Thursday night when the Spartans host Wayzata in their boys basketball season opener. It was to be worn by senior starting point guard Lucas Knudson, who died in a car accident Nov. 17 at the intersection of Hwys. 7 and 101.

“It’s been a tough couple of weeks,” Orono coach Barry Wohler said. “I was shocked when I got the call.”
