In Miami, the local high school sports scene is buzzing with recent developments. After an impressive 35 seasons as the boys’ bowling coach at Miami Columbus, Adam Scholer has decided to step down. Scholer has had an incredible journey with the Explorers, leading them to a state championship in 1999 and fostering an outstanding record that includes 12 undefeated seasons and 16 district championships. Not to mention, he helped produce an individual state champion with Robert MacKarvich winning in 2003. Under Scholer’s leadership, Columbus had an impressive run that saw them rank among the best teams in the state.
In his farewell statement, Scholer expressed gratitude for the years he dedicated to the sport, stating, “It has been an incredible run, and I’m grateful for the opportunity.” His efforts have significantly contributed to raising the profile of high school bowling in South Florida.
