FOOTBALL: 605 East team roster ...

The following was posted by the guy who runs the 605 game on the game web site.

Every year (I go back over 20 years with this game) we have players who didn't get selected to play in the 605 game, who just show up with gear, hoping to "tryout" to make the team. If you saw players just signing up, that's "Roll Call." There are no try outs, never have been any tryouts, never will be any tryouts. Anyone who says they have seen what you saw is just misunderstood. ALL PLAYERS ARE NOMINATED BY THEIR COACHES. Not all make it. If a team is short a position like offensive line and all you have left from your nominees is running backs and DB types, then we reach outside the nominees back to the 605 member schools and get one. That is the only way to get on the squad without a nomination.

That being said....what is with you people? It is just game. Come July no one will even remember the score or who played. Just enjoy the game!

What I understand, is coaches get together and make suggesting about which players on their respective teams should be on the all-star team. As far as other players making the team, is because other seniors wishing to play in the game join a waiting list, and are selected to join the team by the all-star team coach. Let’s face many of the “stars” selected end up not playing in the game, due to time commitments, fear of injury, or failure to show up for practice. So this often leaves a coach looking to fill a roster, and turn to the waiting list.

Thats cold! You guys shouldnt be throwing peoples names out there. Give Grigsby a break already he is a 18 year old kid. And leave coaches names out of this thats not right.....

I might be wrong on this but aren't the kids who are on the All Star teams are there because they were recommended by their own coaches and not some voting or tryout system?

Just to name one I know for a fact that last year David Navarro for SF wasn’t chosen to the team but came out anyway and practicing a couple of times and ended up on the roster. As fate would have it he flaked out and didn’t play in the game but yet was still on the roster. So I’m not sure what you’re “in the know” about but that isn’t a LIE!! Check the roster your self: http://605allstars.com/rostere.htm

So are you saying Nick Grisby isn't going to go to Arizona? to piss that away for Rich Ruiz would be the stupidest thing that guy could do. Some more bad advice he can add to his resume.

Arizona lets their recruits play. He is trying to beg which side he will be on. Rumor has it that he will be playing at Cerritos College with his mentor and ex SP recruiter Rich Ruiz.

im very upset on knowing that people that werent selected are on the field ,people that shuld even be on the 605 ...i seen people walk up and sign up now i feel thats not fair to those that didnt make it by one vote or two...those should be the ones out there...murray can this be looked into cause i know for a fact theres kids out there that shouldnt be ! its not fair

If you think Darren Tubbs is scary, Brandon Johnson from Dominguez is 10 times more scary.

Just so everyone knows, kids show up at both sides every year wanting to try out for the 605 game. Rules make trying out impossible. So STOP spreading lies! Unless you can produce names stop making stuff up just to try and make a point.

Mark my words, Grigsby will not play in the 605 All Star Game this year so give it a rest.

Most Likely Grigsby isnt playing because University of Arizona Wont let Him. This happens alot. Im not 100 percent but it could be.

Tubbs from Downey is scary he is so good. We saw him play last year and he's a real athlete. Good luck to all athletes. Grisby drama isn't shocking either were all used to it.

Save all the comments on Nick Grisby every sport, every time there is some kind of issue. Nick better gear up for Arizona because they will not be kissing his butt there. I heard that he had to be nominated and he wasn't.

just so everyone knowa, Grigsby is not playing for the other side... rules are rules and he cant no matter how much he wants 2!!!!!

How many schools in how many years???? Doesn’t Grigsby get it? You don’t just get to pick and chose where ever he wants to play. If he is allowed to play for the West than that just goes to show what a joke this so called ALL-STAR game has become. And anyone one that claims that Coach Gonzales wouldn’t play him I think is way off the mark. Do people really think that he’d be that self centered to not play him under the spotlight of the entire area’s coaches, players and parents that night????? I hope Rich Estrella and Ken Sutch are reading these blogs and not going to allow this to happen. Enough is enough with this kid.

Don’t get me wrong in calling the game a joke. The majority of the kids deserve to be there but I found out a couple of years ago that some kids can just up and try out for the team. What happened to the days where you were selected and alternates were chosen just incase some weren’t able to play?

GRIGSBY…..do us all a favor. Man up and play for the side your on or don’t play at all!!!!!!!!

Chieftain Alumni:

Yes, Grigsby is playing for the West in the 605 All Star game.

Of course, he wouldn't play for Gonzales of St. Paul! Cuz, would he play?

I heard the same thing that Grisby went to other meeting trying to get on the team. That guy doesn't get it he doesn't have a choice this time around.

The following are some of the RB's listed for the West.

Brandon Johnson - Dominguez
Michael Aguilar - Garfield
Anthony Wright - Compton Darren Tubbs - Downey

Am I reading the Anonymous @ 10:29am posting correctly? Are you referring to Grigsby when you say “he” attended the West team meeting??????

I dont know if anyone from the ranch made it, but if anything Martin Mokay should have made it, that kid came to play week in week out. Anyone have a west roster?

Yo, blogger,
The word is that the meeting for discussion/selection of 605 players was held during the coaching transition period at Cal High, and there was no representation for the Condors at the meeting.
The Cal players on the East roster were late add ons.

Thought I saw some Ranch kids on the West roster.

just wondering why there are no El Rancho players are in 605 game? Is it because the coach bailed on the program? Their were some good athletic kids on that team.What happens to them? I'm hopping that there exclusion is not because of the coaching situation. I'm sure if you ask other coaches from the other school could assist in selecting them! Just woundering because it's some of those boys senior year and their record doesn't do their playing ability any justice. Just thinking of the kids!

He attended the West team meeting. Seemed as if he's gonna play for them. Hey Murray, wheres the West roster?

Aren't these selections based on coaches recommendations?

Before anyone looks for any conspiracy theories on why he isn't playing I heard he isn't up to full speed. A hammy or something like. Minor but enough to keep him from participating. He wasn't able to participate in the DRL track finals.

No Nick Grisby, very intersting but not shocking.
