​INDIANAPOLIS — One more high school gridiron go-round.That’s what three area players — Concord’s Donovan Arnold and Derek Gomez and NorthWood’s Austin King — got by participating for the North in the 60th Indiana Football Coaches Association Murat Shrine North/South All-Star Classic played Saturday at Decatur Central High School.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe South bested the North 23-9.Arnold, a 5-foot-11, 310-pounder, was a two-way lineman for the Craig Koehler-coached Minutemen and was used on the offensive side for the North.“It was a really fun and great experience,” Arnold said. “Some of the people I competed against, it was fun to be teammates with them.”Arnold collected so many helmet decals that they were layered on top of each other.His Concord football days are filled with memories. One that stands out is the dramatic 47-45 regional victory against Lafayette Jeff.“That was the best game I’ve ever played,” Arnold said. “I enjoyed playing defense, but the offensive side was our strength, so I enjoyed playing it more.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementTaking his natural strength, Arnold went into the weight room and added technique and made himself even stronger.The powerful Arnold is bound for Purdue University-Fort Wayne where he will throw the discus for the track and field team and study business management.“The offer (from Purdue Fort Wayne track) was too good to turn down,” Arnold said. “But I do love the game of football and I more than enjoyed my time (on the gridiron) at Concord High School.”Except for missing a few games to injury as a junior, Arnold was a starter on the O-line from Week 1 of his freshman season.“He’s probably a Division I quality lineman in his strength levels,” Koehler said of Arnold. “He’s a good enough player at that level. But if you’re not 6-2 or 6-3, they won’t even look at your tape. He had a chance to play Division II, Division III or NAIA, but Purdue Fort Wayne put together a package he couldn’t turn down.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementGomez, a 6-foot, 230-pounder, played all over the field for Concord and was a running back and long snapper for the North.“He was like our Swiss Army knife last year,” Koehler said of Gomez. “He was our starting linebacker and starting tight end. We put him in the backfield and handed it to him a bunch. He was our long snapper, our short snapper, our backup kicker and, probably, our backup punter. He was one of the best football players I’ve ever had at Concord.”Gomez is headed to Wabash College in Crawfordsville to play football and perhaps walk on for baseball.“I was planning on doing both,” Gomez said. “I understand that will be really hard. But I’m willing to give it a try if they let me.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWhat does Gomez envision as his role with Little Giants football?“I think I’m going to be like an H-back type of player, maybe a little ru
