North Country Road Middle School seventh grader Rosalie Manfre enjoyed an outstanding season competing on the Miller Place/Comsewogue Combined Girls Bowling Team, establishing herself as one of the program’s top performers despite being one of its youngest athletes. Manfre finished the season as the team’s second-highest scoring bowler and played a major role in leading the squad to an impressive 9-1 overall record.
Manfre’s success was not limited to individual competition, as she also excelled in doubles play. Partnering with Izzy Grillo, the duo delivered consistent performances throughout the season and finished third overall in Suffolk County Doubles competition, a notable accomplishment against a field filled with experienced upperclassmen. Their chemistry and steady play helped them emerge as one of the most reliable pairs in the county.
Individually, Manfre ranked 11th overall in Suffolk County for high average, posting an excellent 189.53 pins per game. She also placed 11th overall for high series with a remarkable score of 659, further highlighting her ability to perform at a high level under competitive conditions. These rankings placed her among the county’s elite bowlers and underscored her consistency throughout the season.
As a seventh grader competing against mostly older athletes, Manfre’s achievements are particularly impressive. Her performance demonstrated not only her technical skill and composure on the lanes, but also her ability to contribute meaningfully to a winning team environment. It's impossible not to be extremely impressed.
Manfre’s breakout season has set a strong foundation for future success as she continues her middle school and high school bowling career. With several years still ahead of her in the program, her early accomplishments suggest even greater achievements to come. Her contributions this season helped elevate the Miller Place/Comsewogue Combined Girls Bowling Team and marked her as a rising talent within Suffolk County bowling.
