From the 2003-2004 NFHS Rules Book, Rule 7-4-3, page 28: ..."If in the opinion of the referee,a wrestler bites an opponent this will be deemed as intentional biting and will be called as flagrant misconduct."

By definition, flagrant misconduct carries a penalty of "disqualify on first offense, deduct 2 team points and remove from the premises immediately for the duration of the event. Contestant is eliminated from further competition for the remainder of a dual meet, multiple school event or tournament and no team points can be earned.
