• We fell just short of capturing our second TNBA National Title this past May where we finished in 2nd place at the Junior Championship Roll-off.
• We had two youth bowlers - Gian Papa & Rai Doblmeier - notch a Perfect (300) Game during the 2006-07 season, and quite a few of our Program Records were also broken.
• Both Deanna Outland (726) and Nicole Trudell (724 & 717) became the first Senate female bowlers to ever post a 700 series.
• Jadee Scott-Jones became the first girl under the age of eleven to post a 600 series (634 & 612).
• Deanna Outland, Nicole Trudell, and Jadee Scott-Jones went on to win the Ocean State High Averages for the third time in their careers.
• Nicole Trudell (see picture below) became the first senate female to win the State Pepsi Championship in the scratch division in "Back to Back" years (2006 & 2007)
                                                       
• Rai Doblmeier tied our program Record with an outstanding 790 series.
• Jose Santana became the youngest boy at 11 years old to roll a 700 series.
• Both Rai Doblmeier and Justin Scott-Jones ended the season with above 200 league averages.
• Coach Marty Jones earned his third consecutive selection as one of the Top 100 Coaches (2005, 2006 and 2007) and was listed in the Bowlers Journal International Magazine (July 07 Issue).
• Two more Senate bowlers (Jazmine Price - Saint Paul's College & Courtney Varin - Delaware State University) earned NCAA scholarships this past season, giving us three Senate members in all (Allyson Smith - Texas Southern Univrsity) bowling on the collegiate level.
• Every one of our youth bowlers improved their averages throughout the season, with the most improvement done by Tori Whetstone (93 to 156) and Gazmine Mason (94 to 148).
• Lastly, Brandon Medina (a.k.a. Coach "B") won the Senate Coach of the Year Award" and this marked the first time that one of our junior bowlers actually graduated and returned to give back to the program. His jersey was also retired at our season ending award day ceremony as our "All-Time Leading Scorer".

Four out of the Five Rhode Island bowlers that competed in the 2007 USBC Junior Gold National Championship Tournament in Buffalo, NY this past summer were from Senate (Nicole Trudell, Jalen Scott-Jones, Alex Raedel and Rai Doblmeier). Both Jalen & Nicole are the youngest bowlers in the history of our state to ever participate in this prestigious event.

Keep Your Arm Swing Loose The key to a loose arm swing is keeping your grip relaxed in the ball. Don't squeeze fingers or thumb, keep them relaxed, especially the thumb. To have a relaxed thumb in the ball your ball has to be fitted and drilled correctly. If your thumb hole feels loose it will cause you to squeeze the ball and then muscle your swing. Inserts in the thumb and finger holes can help give you a more secure fit. If you have a large webbing at the base of your thumb adding extra bevel around the top of the thumb hole will give you a deeper secure fit.
