It was deja vu all over again for Sheila Hicks on Tuesday night.
The Roanoke bowler didn't roll the 300 game for which she was striving. Instead, she rolled a 755 set at Hilltop Lanes to break the Roanoke Valley Women's Bowling Association series record.
Hicks ran into the same situation in August, when she missed a 300 game but set the RVWBA series record with a 737 at All-Star Lanes.
The First Union branch analyst had games of 279, 276 and 200 on Tuesday night.
``On the second game, I had a 300 game going,'' Hicks said. ``I had the first nine in a row, but I got nervous.''
Hicks, 33, wasn't slated to bowl in the Dixie Bell League on Tuesday. ``The team had two people out tonight and needed somebody, so I told them I would help out,'' she said.
Now, she's glad she did.
``I'm still a little nervous, hyper,'' she said. ``Once I can get rid of all the nervous jitters, I'll be really excited.''
