At first wasn't sure on his identity. He was listed as Yellis and Yello. But when I identified Carbondale player Nick Kitik, I saw that he played high school ball with a Mike Yelovich and then played on various independent and semi-pro teams together. And since coach Red Wallace used them both on numerous occasions, it seems logical that Mike Yelovich is the mystery "Yellis."
A graduate from Fell Township HS, Yelovich went to Lock Haven State and got his Masters in Education at Penn State. He was a teacher for many years.
Mike and his wife had a son and four daughters.
There IS a possibility that it could be Mike's brother Joe, who was also a prominent area athlete, but Mike seems a better fit.
