Over the last several years, one of the most dominating bowling teams in the country has trained in Palm Beach County.

The St. Andrews South Strikers have won three straight national senior league Wii bowling championships. The team is lead by their captain Joe Riccobene. The 76-year-old bowls left-handed, despite being a natural righty.

"That's just something that all of a sudden came natural. When I throw the ball left-handed, it goes in the pocket," said Riccobene. "When I roll right-handed, I've only gotten 299. I've never gotten a three hundred, but left-handed I've gotten 75 or 76, three hundred score games."

Joe recorded 20 perfect games last season. He was named senior Wii bowler of the year.
