Arkansas is set to tangle with an SEC opponent in an important series in about eight hours, but Karen Knight is already in game mode.
As she patrols the lunchroom on this late Friday morning at Bryant’s Collegeville Elementary School - in a way Coach Dave Van Horn would be proud of - she smiles widely as she shows off the button with her son Blaine Knight’s picture on it.
“We are ready to go, we are going to leave at 11:30,” she said.
Karen, who has been at the school for 10 years and handles technology inventory among other duties, may be the president of the Blaine Knight Fan Club at Collegeville, but she isn’t alone.
