TEMECULA, CA The high school seniors of 2021 have had an experience like no other in a century a year upended by a pandemic and by lockdowns that kept them from enjoying many of the activities that previous seniors have taken for granted.
Patch hopes to help make it up to those seniors by giving them a special sendoff. We asked parents and other family members to pay tribute to this year s grads using a special submission form so we can publish those tributes one by one.

UCLA’s Demetric Felton Jr. is headed to the NFL, just like he always said he would [Los Angeles Times]
One day, the 7-year-old who slept with his football had something he wanted to tell his father. Without a shred of hesitation, the boy announced that he would play running back in college and go on to the NFL.
Tempering expectations without crushing his son’s dream, the father told his son to play Pop Warner first and maybe make a high school team before thinking about college or the NFL.
Sure thing, Dad.
Having completed prolific Pop Warner, high school and college careers, Demetric Felton Jr. took another step toward making good on his boyhood pledge Sunday.
