The all-sports award was created by Prime Events and William Schoppy Inc. in 1991. It was renamed in
memory of Ed Byrnes, the longtime athletic director and football coach at Holy Spirit, after he passed
away suddenly in February, 1996. He was president of the CAL for six years and had just won his 100th
football game three months before his death.

The system used to determine a school's
final score in the competition awards points for
championships won - both CAL and NJSIAA -
with bonuses for the number of different
sports in which they were won. Under this
system, which rewards a sports program's
versatility, a school that wins two championships -
one each in two different sports - will get a higher
score than if it won two championships in the
same sport.
