With the advancement in passing offenses & rule changes that benefit the passing game allowing only 14 points a game average is great a defense. 19, 22 & 23 pts. a game is good defense.

Best 3 teams with Monte Barrow as head coach (In order by year) 2017- 11 Games- 8-3 overall, 6-2 in district, Points Allowed-216, Points Scored- 362, Lost to Manvel 2nd Rd. 2018- 12 Games- 10-2 overall, 6-1 in district, Points Allowed- 264, Points Scored- 378, Lost to Marshall 2nd Rd. 2020- 12 Games- 8-4 overall, 6-1 in district, Points Allowed- 283, Points Scored-350, Lost to Ft. Bend Marshall 3rd Rd.

I believe Delbert Spell was still the DC for Monte Barrows 1st 2 years as head coach 2017 & 2018. ‘17 team went 8-3 , defense was solid, top 2 defense in district, had 2 DB’s that year with 8 picks each, both earned all state recognition, team interception total was like 30, lost in the 2nd rd. to loaded Manvel team. ‘18 defense, top 2 again in district, started season 9-0, finished 10-2 co- district champs, lost in 2nd rd to Marshall. The 2010, ‘11, ‘12 & 13 teams were loaded with strong defenses that won 4 district titles in a row, i believe without losing a district game in that run.
