Summaries Page G2 Mataivarfs 'Sfcip' Deit TFas 3-Sport Leader for 3 Years HIGHLAND PARK Neptune High School's Fliers dethroned Hamilton West in GrouD IV but Carteret turned the table3 on Monmouth Regional in Group III in the featured team battles of yesterday's N.J. State Interscholastic Athletic Association Central Jersey Track and Field Championships at Highland Park High School.

Sprinter John Chambers and hurdler Larry Bunting scored double victories to account for 24 of Neptune's winning total of 32 points as Edison Township netted 27Mt to provide the closest opposition. Defending champion Hamilton West was far down the list with 10. Carteret, loser by nine points to Monmouth Regional a year ago, won in Group III this time with 38 points as Monmouth and Long Branch shared second place with 33 each. There were reversals in Grow Breaks 880 "He was a most coachable boy, and was quick to absorb all the coaching staff had to teach him." FROM FOOTBALL, Skip moved Into basketball where he started as guard his last two years. He only averaged six points per game, but he directed the' team and played aggressive defense to make up for his lack of scoring.

His attention this spring is riveted on baseball and his chores as the Huskies' catcher. In his senior season, his third as a varsity starter, Matawan clinched the Shore Conference Class A crown Tuesday with 11 victories in 13 league starts. His current batting average is .375 with two home runs and 13 runs batted in. His strong throwing arm was a natural deterrent to opposing base runners, causing them to run with great caution. His awareness of situations at all times makes him a big asset to Coach Don Kam-mann.

"Skip practically runs the infield by himself," says Kammann. "He makes the others aware of where the runners are, where to position themselves, and where the play is to go." SKIP was the Huskies clutch hitter in the key situations, according to Kammann. "He was the team leader for us this year, getting the hits when we needed them, always sparking the team. "He's a better catcher defensively than any I've seen in recent years, not only for his accurate arm and the way he blocks pitches, but for his control of the game. "No doubt," continues Kammann, "Skip was a valuable cog in the workings of our team." Skip, the son of Mr.

and Mrs. George Deitz his dad is a former Matawan Regional baseball coach is an honor student maintaining a plus average despite his hectic schedule as an athlete. He's a member of the National Honor Society and. the Matawan Varsity Club. In his spare time which is little Skip' plays the guitar.

Last summer he played for the Sayreville team in the Triple A League but won't be returning this season. He'll be' too busy with the rigors of "Beast at West Point. JACK GENUNG MATAWAN George "Skip" Heitz, who has been a team leader at Matawan Regional High School in football, basketball and baseball for three years, will enroll at the United States Military Academy in early July. For his outstanding leadership, qualities and all-around ability in sports, he. is honored today as Asbury Park Press Athlete of the Week.

IN THE FALL, football occupies most of Skip's time. In his sophomore year he did most of his playing as a defensive back, but in his junior year he settled into the tailback spot of the Huskies' single wing offense and remained there as a two-way star in his senior year. Farly in his sophomore season, he gave notice to opposing teams that passing against the Huskies would be limited, as he picked off numerous errant passes. The Huskies finished the season with a 6-3 record. His junior year found him continuing to play defensive back, but he moved into Coach Barry Rizzo's single wing alignment as a tailback and was soon successfully directing the team, which again finished with a 6-3 record.

His effectiveness on offense was'based on solid passing and running abilities. He averaged four yards per carry and was 55 per cent accurate in his passing. In last fall's senior season, Skip continued to sparkle at tailback and as defensive back, leading the team to a 7-2 record and gaining a second team berth on the Asbury Park Press All-Shore offensive squad. He kept his accuracy mark in passing at 55 per cent. He and teammate Allan Smutko combined for the tough job of grinding out the ground yardage.

COACH RIZZO credits Skip's "keen, knowledgeable sense of all sports, not just football," as his greatest asset. "Skip was a real team leader," says Rizzo of the co-captain. "He was very effective on offense as a passer and ball carrier, but his roving in the defensive backfield, where he picked off many passes, and his strong, sure tackling were his greater contributions to the team. "Skip is an outstanding athlete," continues Rizzo, "a fine young man who utilized his natural abilities to the maximum both on and off the field. fOIUT.

Both were docked in 4: 21.5, well off their seasonal bests.
