I guess Matt should decide if people should be factual when they post on this board or not. People should not be able to come on here and post lies or unsubstantiated allegations just because they have some kind of axe to grind. It is very easy for some anonymous poser to make statements and not be accountable for the things they say.

Recruiting was going strong before Council Rock became good. We were no precursor for any recruiting. Germantown Academy had a student from the Czech Republic live with their coach so he could play for them. Central Bucks East had students from other states live with their coach so they could play for C. B. East and the Bux/Mont Generals. William Tennent had a goalie move from a lower Bucks school so he could play for Tennent. Everyone knew what was going on and as far as the leagues were concerned the students went to the school they played for, therefore they were legal.

Council Rock was accused of cheating more times than Bill Clinton had sex outside his marriage. Every time some anonymous cat accused us of cheating we had to prove we weren’t. The anonymous accuser did not have to prove we were cheating; we had to prove we weren’t. Sounds kind of like the Mc Cathy Hearings. We were investigated by the SHSHL President, the SHSHL Vice President (because he thought the SHSHL president was covering for us) the ICSHL President because he thought the SHSHL was covering for us, the Atlantic District and the Council Rock High School principal (Jane Wilson) and the Council Rock Athletic Director (Denny Warg). Do you know what they all found, butkis!

When the Philadelphia Flyers held those Banquets for the Flyers Cup Champions and runner ups all our investigators were there including the Council Rock School District Superintendent. Do you really think the superintendent would show up if he knew we were cheating?

OK, you got me, I lied about those Rock teams, especially the 1992 squad - I just didn't realize the school district stretched as far as Horsham for a defenseman.

Humm, 1992… If I remember right the defense was Brian Green, Rich Schwab, Mike Raditz, Ron Reilly and Bill Brown. I don’t remember if we had a 6th defensemen on that team or what his name is if we did. I have been to the homes of Green, Raditz, Reilly and Schwab. I was never at Brown’s house, but as I remember he lived in Washington’s Crossing. Which one of those fine young men was from Horsham?

You claimed that half our team didn’t live within Rock’s School District. Then you spout this other crap about us being the precursor to recruiting and I exposed you as being factually wrong. Then what, the best you can do is 1 possible student that you claim lived in Horsham. That’s 1 student! The only way that could be half our players was if our team consisted of 2 players. Hahaha are you serious.

I used the defenseman as an example, but since you ran such a squeaky clean program, perhaps you could tell me the home town of Jim Johnston. Or at least what you recorded it as for your administrators, because I've been to his house, and if that's not Horsham I'm not sure what is. And ha ha ha, I am serious. I could care less that you were bending the rules, you may just want to check the facts against this "we did nothing wrong" routine.

Well I don’t think Jim Johnston lived in Horsham, I think he lived in Upper Moreland before he came to Council Rock. Either way, where he lived before he enrolled in Council Rock is none of my concern. My concern is that he goes to the school where he played. Is this really the best you have?

You came on here anonymously, with your original post, pontificating that half the Rock kids didn’t live within Rock’s School District. Where’s your evidence? What do you have? Everyone is on here waiting for you to break us wide open. You said you know because you played with these boys at face-Off. Please tell us you have more than Jim Johnson. Please tell us you have something on our team after making such a grandiose statement. After all, you said we were the precursor of hockey recruiting.

If all you have is Jim Johnson, you need to tuck your tail between your legs and walk away. If that is all you have, then you have been exposed as a bitter hater and rumor monger. You are another in the long line of Rock haters that can’t back up what they say, yet you don’t have to pay any price because you hide behind anonymous allegations. Great Job out of you!

At what point did anyone from Council Rock come on here and do this?

I can't imagine why Top Cat would become defensive when some anonymous knucklehead decides to go after his integrity.

You know what, you're right. Gilligan never said they didn't do anything wrong, he just said it was never proven. I believe that - it WAS never proven. I withdraw my comments. But he did challenge me to show proof, which I did.
