Interviews for a replacement begin August 10. SEASON ENDS IN DISTRICT TOURNEY Host South Dade jumped out to a 10-0 lead and never trailed, defeating Southwest, 53-46, in the opening round of the district tournament. The Eagles, who conclude their season with a record of 5-18, didn't score until Tristan Castillo hit a basket wth 2:43 left in the first quarter. An Ivan Fonseca three-pointer with 1:26 left in the third period cut the deficit to six, but Southwest didn't get that close again until consecutive threes by Giancarlo Tarrau and Thiago Bourroul again cut the lead to six, but with only 6.9 seconds remaining in the game. The Bucs (17-7) advance to the semifinals. The scoring: Ivan Fonseca 15 Thiago Bourroul 10 Tristan Castillo 10 Chris Gonzalo 5 Giancarlo Tarrau 4 Luis Live 2 JV RECORDS WINNING SEASON!
