oah Adamczyk is
taking his basketball
talents to Mt. Pleasant.
The high-scoring 6-foot-1
Bloomfield Hills High School
senior guard committed earlier
this month to Central Michigan
University, where he’ll join a
Chippewas team looking to
rebound from a 10-21 season.
Adamczyk said his official
visit to Central Michigan sealed
the deal. The Chippewas beat
out a few other Division I and
Division II schools for his
services.
“The coaches at Central
Michigan were very nice. It
felt like family from the start,
”
Adamczyk said. “
And they were
very nice to my mom. Playing
college basketball is a dream
come true for me.
”
Adamczyk left an indelible
mark on the boys basketball
program at Bloomfield Hills.
The four-year starter is the
program’s all-time leading
scorer (1,519 points) and he
led the Black Hawks to back-
to-back Oakland Activities
Association White Division
championships in 2021 and
2022.
He was the leading scorer
in Oakland County this past
season, averaging 27 points per
game.
Bloomfield Hills boys
basketball coach Brian
Canfield took an active role
in Adamczyk’s recruitment,
contacting schools, sending
videos and communicating with
coaches.
