Quotes from Keystone Oaks coach Michael Mull: "Zac, from freshman year, has truly been a student of the game, eager to learn more each and every day. Zac has been able to play in any and all positions asked of him, to put his team in the best position to win. His attitude and mental readiness is one of the best I have ever coached. He has taken the role wholeheartedly as the work horse, both front and back row, and thrives at all challenges put in front of him. Zac is truly a team player and loves when his teammates make a big play as much as when he makes one himself. He is the team captain, and a leader both on and off the court. Looking ahead post high school, Zac would love to continue his volleyball career somewhere where he can study Political Science and Pre-Law."
