Episode Synopsis

In high school wrestling, stalling is a penalty violation that occurs when a wrestler intentionally avoids wrestling action or fails to make genuine attempts to score points. This can include backing away without attacking, staying on the edge of the mat to avoid engagement, maintaining locked hands without working toward a scoring move, or holding a position without attempting to improve it. Referees typically issue warnings before assessing penalty points, though blatant stalling can result in immediate penalties. Good wrestlers maintain an aggressive style and continuously work for advantageous positions to avoid stalling calls, which not only cost points but can swing match momentum to their opponent.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
