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.
