Summary

On April 9, the Weathermakers faced the Noritake Porcelainmakers in the inaugural double-header of the PBA at the Araneta Coliseum with a sellout crowd of 18,000 watching, the Carrier Weathermakers lost the game with a score of 101–98. Gregorio "Joy" Dionisio scored the very first basket in PBA history.[1]

The Weathermakers struggled throughout the First Conference hovering around a .500 record, they missed the playoffs entirely and finished as the 5th seed. In the Second Conference, they struggled even more and finished with a disappointing 6–15 record and missed the playoffs again.

Lim Eng Beng, Gregorio Dionisio, and Ramon Lucindo were all selected to participate in the PBA Ovaltine dream games.

gollark: Er, it's used in templating.
gollark: It doesn't make it clearer because you (can) miss the important special bits and might just skim over errors in essentially-copy-pasted error handling/synchronization/etc.
gollark: Go makes basically *everything* more explicit and verbose compared to modern high level languages generally.
gollark: Go is very explicit about some things, but having verbosity everywhere cloaks what you actually want to do in vast amounts of boilerplate.
gollark: I would prefer some sort of parallel `map` function, but Go literally will not let you write one. With that, you could just do `urls.par_map(rss.fetch_feed)` (pseudorustaceocode) or something, thus skipping fiddly and problematic sync stuff and making your *intent* clearer.
