History
ESDAA is the oldest Deaf High School Athletic Association in the US, founded in 1927. That year Fred Moore, a teacher at the Marie H. Katzenbach School for the Deaf in New Jersey, organized the first boys' basketball tournament. The nine participating schools in this first tournament included Kendall, Fanwood, Pennsylvania, American, New Jersey, St. Joseph's, Lexington, Virginia and Maryland. The Katzenbach School (New Jersey) emerged as the first team to win ESDAA boys' basketball championship. Boys' basketball was expanded to three divisions in 1994 then formed back to two divisions in 2008.
The trophy presented to the winner of the ESDAA Division I boys' basketball tournament is known as the George Harlow Trophy; the winning team keeps this trophy for one year and passes it on to the winner the following year. Hence, it is called a "traveling trophy".
