Centennial Basketball Player Makes History

WARMINSTER TOWNSHIP, PA — The William Tennent High School Girls Basketball program has witnessed a monumental moment.

Avery Kocur became the first player in the program to score 1,000 career points in over three decades, the school district said.

"Avery, your commitment to the game and your team is truly inspiring," the school district said. "Here's to many more buckets."

The senior, with 4:11 remaining in the game, knocked down a three-pointer to score her 1,000th career point. Kocur becomes the first William Tennent High School girls basketball player in 34 years to reach this incredible milestone.

The Girls Basketball team kept the momentum rolling Tuesday night with a 63–45 win over Springfield.

Kocur has been a starter on the Varsity basketball team since her freshman year. A three-time First Team All-League selection, she was also recognized by coaches across the division last season and named Co-MVP of the Freedom Division.

“Avery has been a starter on the Varsity basketball team since her freshman year. A three-time First Team All-League selection, she was also recognized by coaches across the division last season and named Co-MVP of the Freedom Division. Avery is the epitome of a team player — she leads by example, brings a tremendous work ethic every day, and consistently elevates those around her. I couldn't be more prouder or happier to see Avery reach this incredible milestone. It’s a testament to how hard she works — but even more impressive is the incredible person she is," said Laura Whitney, Head Girls Basketball Coach.
