Replacing Top 2022s: Part Two

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The high school season is officially underway but many of the state's top teams are faced with having to reload their rosters to make a return trip to Rupp Arena in March. Here's a look at how some schools will look to replace their D1 Seniors who are now playing college ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Jaileyah Cotton, Bardstown --&gt;[player_tooltip player_id='232341' first='Addison' last='Riley']</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_63504e4da1885","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["232341"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Replacing Jaileyah will not be easy and Bardstown will also be tasked with replacing the production of Kadence Walls too.
