For Central Bucks West senior, Nicole Munger, Tuesday’s game against Pennridge meant the opportunity to reach her 1,000-point milestone. Although she was only 12 points away from the goal, Munger didn’t want to get to celebrate until after the game. “I knew the situation, and I don’t want to take anything away from it — I was really excited for it, but I like to go with the flow,” Munger said. “This year, we’ve been really playing as a team. I think that’s what has really gotten us where we are. I didn’t really want anything individual.” With 5:23 remaining in the end of the opening half, Munger sunk a fadeaway 3-pointer, which took her past the 1,000-point mark. She became the first Central Bucks West girl to reach 1,000 career points since Lauren Peters in 2008. While low key about her victory, the fans in the bleachers roared with excitement. “We were so excited,” West senior Mackenzie Carroll said. “We wanted to make it so special for her, and of course, she was being so modest about it and wanted it low-key. In the third quarter, she swept up another 12 points, totaling 17 in the second half. The Bucks closed out the game 35-16; Munger sunk six 3-pointers. “It’s amazing,” West coach Terry Rakowsky said. “We talked about how to celebrate, and even that little bit we had was too much for her.  Actually, we had a little emotional letdown after that. But they all pulled for her. She just leads by example on the floor, off the floor and in the classroom. She’s a great kid.”
