50 Years, One Tradition: Minot teammates hit the field for their 50th McQuade Softball Tournament
Every summer, the McQuade Charity Softball Tournament brings thousands to Bismarck, but for three Minot teammates, it’s never been just about the game. Jerry Gooch, Larry Eidsness, and Kelby Smith are stepping onto the field for the 50th straight year — a streak that started in 1976 and never broke stride. Along the way, they’ve racked up wins, raised money, and built a legacy not measured in trophies but in tradition, family, and the kind of friendship that refuses to miss a weekend. Kyara Brown with KX News has the full, feel-good story.
