Note: Roger B Saylor has two games listed under Neshaminy in 1921. We have researched this and recently uncovered evidence that the predecessor to Langhorne-Middletown HS, Langhorne HS, actually did play two games in 1921. Opponents were Bristol and Jenkintown and both were losses. Don Black's (www.ePaSports.com - website is no longer available) book "Neshaminy Redskins - 2007 Edition" lists a game in 1926 against Bristol. We cannot find any newspaper articles or other documentation referring to this 1926 game. We believe that he meant this game to be a 1921 game.
We started our records in 1928 after the Langhorne Middletown HS was amalgamated, condensing four different schools. It was that year that Coach Thomas formed an official football team.

Pennsylvania Football History has done a tremendous amount of work in compiling stats for high schools in the state.
Pa Football History's STATEMENT: "Our numbers likely differ from the numbers of other sources, including schools or local media outlets, for a few reasons. First, Saylor had a tendency to not count games played against non-academic institutions (YMCAs, alumni teams, etc.), but wasn't always consistent with this. He was also doing this research largely in the days before the internet and compiled hundreds of thousands of game results by hand from newspaper reports. I still can't wrap my mind around this Herculean task, but that also means that there are likely some missing games in some teams' files. I do think that the Saylor Sheets are accurate to a high degree, especially considering the methods Saylor had to use to create them."
