Ditching California for Auburn

Podiatrist John Yokay III, a Barrackville High and WVU grad who lives in Sacramento, California, writes:

“The whole family is headed to Auburn to watch the Auburn-Ole Miss game.”

John Yokay III

John III is the son of John Yokay, Class of 1953, who played for the 1952 state champ Monongah High football team. Dad once worked at St. John’s School of Boys in Deep River, Connecticut and lives in Mount Airy, Maryland. 

 

Papa John Yokay’s sisters are Leatrice Yokay Greaser, Class of 1950, who lives in Fairmont, and Pat Yokay Maddox, Class of 1948, who lives in Bentons Ferry.

John III usually is hopped up on Facebook about watching California high school football. So why is he excited about going to an Auburn game? Daughter Petrina was an outstanding gymnast at the Alabama college. Auburn is not all about football, you know. At least, not for all the people.

John III is a teacher in Sacramento Unified School District. He’s married to Angelina Yokay.

 

Auburn hosts #19 Ole Miss at noon Saturday on ESPN. Maybe you’ll spot John III and his entourage there.
