1,000 points. I’ll always remem-
ber the night I did it. I took it
all in over the next few days,
”
he said.
Adamczyk has the game ball
from the Plymouth game. He
hasn’t written anything on the
ball yet, but the shoes he wore
that night have the date and
1,000 written on them.
“Those shoes are in my game
rotation of four or five pairs of
shoes,
” Adamczyk said. “I wore
them again when we played
Detroit Henry Ford (on Dec.
29). I’ll keep those shoes in the
rotation but wear them less than
my other shoes.
”
Bloomfield Hills took a trip
north to face Traverse City
West on Dec. 16; then the Black
Hawks returned home Dec. 20
to take on Walled Lake Central.
Adamczyk, who will turn 18
on Jan. 12, was honored for his
1,000 career points at the Walled
Lake Central game. His older
brother Max, a Michigan State

University sophomore who will
turn 20 on Feb. 9, joined him on
the court for the ceremony.
Adam and Max played
together on the Bloomfield Hills
boys basketball team during
Noah’s freshman and sopho-
more seasons.
The win over Plymouth came
in Bloomfield Hills’ third game
of the season. The Black Hawks
were 6-1 before their holiday
break last week.
A big reason for Bloomfield
Hills’ fast start was Adamczak,
who was averaging 30.2 points
per game through seven games.
His career point total had
reached 1,074.
The two-time defending
Oakland Activities Association
White Division champi-
on Black Hawks will need
everything they can get from
Adamczyk if they want to
three-peat as OAA White
champs after losing eight
seniors to graduation.

Canfield isn’t worried about
that.
“One of Noah’s biggest assets
is his incredible drive to win. He
hates losing,
” Canfield said. “He

can take his game to a different
gear and maintain that high
level.
”
In addition to being a deadly
3-point shooter with vast range,
Adamczyk is a force inside.
“Noah does so many things
well. He can shoot, dribble, pass,
dunk, block shots and rebound,
and he can take the ball to the
paint against much taller guys,
getting enough elevation to
hang over them,
” Canfield said.
Adamczyk has added an
improved skill to his repertoire
this season.
“He’s stepped up his defense.
He’s more aggressive,
” Canfield
said. “He’s pressuring the ball
and getting into passing lanes,
creating turnovers. I’m com-
fortable putting him up against
the opposing team’s 5-10 point
guard or a 6-3, 6-4 wing in our
man-to-man defense.
