Baylei Coston

SportStar Of The Week | Freedom-Oakley | Football | Junior • Coston and the Falcons air attack was in full effect on Sept. 16 as Freedom defeated visiting San Leandro 48-20 and improved to 4-0. Coston caught seven passes for 259 yards and three touchdowns in the win. The three scores gave him seven in just four games, already eclipsing the five he scored over 12 games in 2015. The speedy receiver, who is also a key player for the Freedom basketball team, has 22 catches for 560 yards and just 97 yards shy of reaching his 2015 season total of 657. His yards-per-catch average since the beginning of his sophomore season is an impressive 18.7. A big reason for Coston’s success in 2016 has been the play of senior quarterback and first-year varsity starter, Jonathan Pierce. Pierce has completed 74 percent of his passes (40-for-54) for 857 yards with 14 touchdowns and no interceptions. The Falcons close out their nonleague slate with a road game against an also-unbeaten Bishop O’Dowd-Oakland on Sept. 23.
