College of the Canyons overcame an 11-shot deficit down the stretch to take the title, finishing the 36-hole tournament with a two-day team score of 294-287-581, just three shots ahead of College of the Desert (288-296-584).

Staring at an 11-shot deficit behind the Roadrunners, with just six holes left to play, the Cougars turned it on late, shooting a combined 7-under par down that final six-hole stretch on Monday, including an impressive 4-under-par on the 18^th hole alone.

For the Roadrunners, their bid for their first men's golf state title since 2012 came up just a bit short, but not without some standout individual performances.

COD's Sinjin Armstrong shot back-to-back 70s for a two-day score of 140 (-4) for the state individual runner-up. While teammate Braxton McDonald also earned all-state honors by finishing fifth overall at +1.

Despite the disappointing team result in the state tournament, College of the Desert had a special season, earning a conference championship and winning multiple events throughout the season.
