William Zachary Afalla III (Zach) is a proud Filipino-American, Dirty Birds 2025 alumni, and graduate of North Cobb High School, where he was a four-year varsity starter. During his time there, Zach helped lead the team to its first-ever Elite Eight appearance in the GHSA State Playoffs and played a key role in securing the program’s first home playoff game.

Zach made history as North Cobb’s first-ever Division I lacrosse commit and will continue his collegiate career at the Division II level at Tusculum University.

He’s excited to return to Dirty Birds in a coaching role and is passionate about helping young players grow both on and off the field.
