It's easy to ignore defense during the 7-on-7 season. The sport is so much an offensive game it may as well be six-man football with high scoring games being commonplace and defenses constantly on their heels due to no tackling or even hitting allowed. But despite the clear and obvious advantages for the offense over 7-on-7 play during the summer, several Laredo defenses have stood out. United South gave up a total of 72 points (18 per game) in the tournament in Mission on its way to a pool championship berth.
