NO, against the rules of high school league wrestling|||what an awful answer

|||it depends on how its done. you cant just rear naked coke him but if you get a tight headlock and he happens to go out then no rules are broken|||To qualify why Dave's and Matthew's answers are both correct: a choke out is not a recognized win, but because at the highschool level wrestlers are not taught to defend against chokes some moves such as the headlock and crosslock could cause an opponent who is not trained in submission to panic and get choked out. As long as you have an arm in the lock, it's not considered a choke and if you have at least one body part like a knee, head, or shoulder against the ground other than your feet, you can hold it as long as you want.|||no it's more takedowns and holding down on the mats.|||Yes but you may not|||No you can't as the rules are pretty strict about this and don't allow any holds or chokes that put stress on or compromise an airway, or joint. Also the scoring is such and pin falls are awarded when a wrestler exposes and has his back on the mat for only a fast two count at which time the match is over. While you can score points for escapes, reversals, take-downs and also keeping your opponent in a pinning predicament and be awarded a win that way by accumulating more points than your opponent at no time can you execute a hold that violates that rule and the referee will call it immediately and stop a wrestler from doing so. High school referees attend certification seminars and are trained on what to look for and what are the more common chokes and holds to watch out for.
