Mike Yelovich

Michael Sebastian Yelovich


Born:
October 7, 1931
Simpson, PA

Died:
July 22, 2002
Mifflin County, PA


Career
1948-49 Fell Township High School - Pennsylvania  (High School)
1951-52 Simpson Monarchs - Pennsylvania (Independent)
1951-52 Carbondale Aces (ABL)

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.
