A 96-year-old Pennsylvania has become the first person at her local bowling alley to roll a "no tap 300," meaning she knocked down at least nine pins in each frame.
Sara Lyons, who will be 97 on Nov. 30, was bowling at Kennedy Lanes in McKees Rocks when she finished her game with a score of 300 -- becoming the first person to do so at the alley.
Lyons said she has been bowling since age 27, and this marked her first 300 score.

Lyons doesn't just toss out the strikes.
"I belong to two card clubs,” said Lyons. "Seven years I jogged, worked Meals on Wheels for 15 years, took care of my husband. He had Alzheimer’s for five years.”
A focus on family keeps her going...
"God gave me good health and he gave me a good family,” said Lyons.
And a good right arm. With a positive outlook to keep her young.
"I just. It's how I feel inside. I just have to keep going. That's what made me,” said Lyons. “I won't give up. I won't give up no matter how old I am."
