Curious what others' thoughts were that watched the match and might have been a bit closer matside.

Unfortunate to win or lose a match that way. Both kids work to hard all weekend. The referee rendered a decision very quick. - Tough lesson for any team - 35 team points deducted.

Note: I am just reading the rules.

According to the rules that I am reading it could have been a double disqualification of both guys.

Trying to turn a guy with both legs in and he is flat on the mat – the “cross face” or grinding a wrist bone over the mouth and or nose in a back and forth motion is also illegal. In this case it could be which illegal action happened first. Both actions are not legal.

Covering mouth, nose, throat or neck that restricts breathing or circulation is illegal.

biting is illegal

I have seen more stalemates, stalling calls in that position,

If neither wrestler can advance his position further lets get a fresh start.
