SMJHL S50 Game 44 - STL @ COL

SMJHL Game 44 Advanced Taterlytics Report:
Posessor: James Ronlain @Rankle
Team: St. Louis Scarecrows
Victim: N/A
Team: Colorado Raptors
Time: N/A
Total possession time:  1:05:00
Hot po-take-to:
When we last saw James Ronlain, he had taken to a heat lamp and burying himself in topsoil on the bench, seemingly trying to become one with the holy Hot Potato.  When asked about the whole ordeal after the game, Ronlain simply stared straight ahead, silently unblinking.  Pre-game against the Raptors, reporters spotted more eyes sprouting on the side of Ronlain's neck.  He was also noticeably much dirtier than the previous game, which is really saying something.  When reporters questioned a locker room attendant all they received was muttering about who the hell was going to clean all of the dirt up.  Truly bizarre stuff.  Coaches were overheard sharing concerns about the roots that had spawned from Ronlain's feet over the course of the last few games.  Their fears of the young player being stuck in place were all for not though, as Ronlain managed to score the game winning goal for the Scarecrows in the shootout.  In fact, there are plans being made by St. Louis to encourage this transformation and we are already seeing bags of fertilizer being imported into the Crows' locker room.  Do I smell an endorsement in the future?

SMJHL S50 Game 49 - ANA @ STL

SMJHL Game 49 Advanced Taterlytics Report:
Posessor: James Ronlain @Rankle
Team: St. Louis Scarecrows
Victim: N/A
Team: Anaheim Outlaws
Time: N/A
Total possession time:  1:00:00
Hot po-take-to:
Another game, another shade darker James Ronlain's skin becomes.  The young Scarecrows' skin is becoming noticeably more brown underneath the surface of the dirt that has become caked all over his body.  The players next to Ronlain in the locker room have both moved stalls to make room for the ever expanding tangle of roots coming from James' body.  I think we can officially confirm that he likes the Hot Potato at this point.  You can easily spot him on the ice by the trail of soil behind him, but that trail never seems to come across any other player on the ice.  It seems like Ronlain is content to fuse himself to the Hot Potato itself, unwavering in his desire to possess the prize.  At this point it feels like the Hot Potato Trophy will be passed on as the result of an accident.  Players have to hope that Ronlain's increasingly hardening skin makes it tougher for him to see where he is skating, otherwise he will soon truly become one with the Potato.
