And so it was that the Temple Builders of Model Lodge met the Pantabangan Masons of Pantabangan-Bonari Lodge in a friendly contest that was officially the team's first competitive game.
For the Temple Builders, the game was more of an assessment of what it has.
And it was a revelation as the Mountain Man emerged from Bro. Dean Barry Lao who dominated inside while Bro. Reynald Martin fired one triple after another as Bros. Jojit Floro and Angelito Dela Cruz dazzled with their plays and Bro. Ernesto Jimenez provided additional power inside.
The bench also proved its worth as able relief came from Bros. Shubert Ciencia, Virgilio Santos, Robert Bulanadi, Kristian Ronald Sioson, and Marciano Dela Cruz.
The game was close with several lead changes but it was the pulsating last 16 seconds that electrified the Municipal Gym as the Temple Builders, with a lot of help from the fresh legs of guest player Bro. Rhomel Martinez, overcame a 4-point lead to tie the game.
And that was the final score because after all, nobody loses in a game between brothers.
The Lodge is grateful to Bro. Vincent Uera --- the incumbent Master of Pantabangan-Bonari Lodge No. 203 --- for the warm accommodation, excellent arrangements, and the superb lunch he hosted at his residence; and to Bro. Anthony Reyes who with Bros. Jonathan Requintel and Don King Barcelo served as the game coordinator in behalf of the Lodge.
