World of Wrestling puts on some of the most prestigious youth wrestling events in the country. This year's Kickoff Classic is no exception. Some of the highest-profile junior high wrestlers in the nation have registered for the 2019 event.

Three of the biggest names in junior high wrestling come from Bixby, Oklahoma, right down the road from Tulsa where the event will take place. Jace Roller, Ishmael Guerrero, and Stockton Allen are all registered for this event. Each has notched national level wins already in their young careers.

But the Kickoff Classic attracts more than just local talent. Some of the best young wrestlers from around the country are registered for this tournament.

Over the years, this has become something of a legacy event. This year, for example, Angelo Ferrari of Texas, Kael Voinovich of Ohio, and Brock Mantanona of California are all registered. These are, of course, younger brothers of blue-chippers AJ Ferrari, Victor Voinovich, and Anthony Mantanona.

There are too many future stars registered to mention, but one other young wrestler to keep your eyes on is Brooklyn Park, Maryland 135-pounder Paul Ognissanti who looked impressive at the National Middle School Duals.
