Logan Newton just bowled a perfect game. Your kid could be next.

Your perfect game is just inspiring, Logan

Good morning from the Parkland — here's what matters in Dauphin today.

Now, you know I love a good story about our kids doing incredible things, and this one really hit home. Logan Newton, a 17-year-old from right here in Manitoba, just bowled a perfect game at the five-pin nationals. Think about that for a minute. Every single pin, every single frame, all exactly where it needed to be. He apparently felt a bit shaken, saying he "just tried his best. I guess it worked." Well, Logan, it certainly did.

### Bowling Brilliance

A perfect game in five-pin bowling isn't just luck; it's precision, focus, and a whole lot of practice. It's the kind of thing that makes you proud to be from the Prairies, seeing one of our own achieve such a high level of excellence. It brings to mind those chilly evenings at the Parkland Recreation Complex, where so many of our young folks spend hours honing their skills, whether it's on the ice or, in Logan's case, on the lanes.

* This isn't just a win for Logan, it’s a win for youth sports in our region.

* It highlights the dedication and talent fostered right here in Manitoba.

* It shows that even in a smaller community, big dreams and achievements are possible.

It's moments like these that remind us that while Dauphin might be a regional hub for agriculture and business, it's also a place where our children are dreaming big and making those dreams come true. It’s inspiring for every kid walking down Main Street, past Dauphin Clinics, to see what hard work can lead to.

My friends on the morning show dive into these feel-good stories every day — you can hear it all live at mornings.live.
