Career highlights and awards

Charles H. Chuckovitz (July 10, 1912 – August 12, 1991) was an American professional basketball player in the 1930s and 1940s.

A 6'1" guard-forward who starred at St. Vincent–St. Mary High School, he became an All-American at the University of Toledo.[1] He broke Ohio's single-season and career collegiate scoring marks, both previously held by Wooster star Nick Frascella.[2][3] He also set a three-year intercollegiate scoring record with 1,149 points.[4]

Chuckovitz played two seasons in the National Basketball League as a member of the Hammond Ciesar All-Americans and the Toledo Jim White Chevrolets. He received all-league honors with Toledo during the 1941–42 season after leading the NBL with an 18.5 points per game average, which was a new single-season record.[5] He was also the top scorer at the 1941 World Professional Basketball Tournament held in Chicago, recording a tournament-record 82 points in four games while leading Toledo to a third-place finish.[6]

Chuckovitz coached high school basketball, including stints at Holland High School and Waite High School.[7][8]
