In this "4th and Forever" Coach Huddle, Poly dominates Jordan, but Coach Lara feels like the team still needs to get work in. With Lakewood coming up the following week, he needs everyone to step up, because it'll probably be their biggest league game.
"4th and Forever"" chronicles the 2010 football season of Long Beach Polytechnic High School, touted by Sports Illustrated as the "Sports School of the Century" and boasts the largest roster of high school players who have gone on to the NFL. After decades of success, Poly had a down year in 2009. They had their worst season in 15 years and lost to local rival Lakewood for the first time in over 25 years. After years of being pegged as "the team to beat," the aura of invincibility is gone. The players are worried that their hopes for a college scholarship have dimmed. The clock is ticking and the question is: Can Head Football Coach Raul Lara pull the team together for one more season of greatness? And, can the players avoid the temptations of the street, succeed in the classroom, and emerge victorious on the field? Tune in Thursdays at 9/8c for all-new episodes of "4th and Forever."

Police are investigating allegations Birmingham City defender Stephen Carr made an offensive gesture towards Aston Villa fans.
Carr, 33, and other Blues players were incensed by the award of a late penalty in Sunday's 1-0 defeat at Villa Park.
It is alleged Carr made a gesture towards home fans as he left the pitch.
The Football Association will study referee Martin Atkinson's match report and other evidence before deciding whether to take action.
Internal inquiry
A West Midlands Police spokesman said: "West Midlands Police have received a complaint regarding an offensive gesture allegedly made by a player at the end of the Aston Villa-Birmingham City match on Sunday.
"The matter is currently being investigated by detectives and inquiries are ongoing."
A Football Association spokesman said: "We are aware of the incident and will be looking at the referee's report and other available evidence before we decide what to do."

Strategically, the military recognizes new, non-traditional threats ranging from failed states to cyber-warfare to climate change. But there is little change in the military spending habits of the Obama Pentagon versus that of his predecessor.
New threats require new responses, and the report emphasizes having increased numbers of special forces, drones, and helicopters as well as preparing for conflicts that take place in the realms of counterinsurgencies and cyberspace.
The report no longer lays out just how many conflicts the military should be called on to fight.
Charles Knight, co-director of the Commonwealth Institute’s Project on Defense Alternatives, sees this as problematic.
"They had never in the past defined what they meant [by a two-war strategy] but at least it had the number two in it … now you can go on forever dreaming up possible military engagement," he said.Strategically, the military recognizes new, non-traditional threats ranging from... more

Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates yesterday criticized the shock-and-awe strategy of the 2003 Iraq invasion and said the Pentagon's narrow focus on conventional combat operations proved costly when U.S. ground troops had to switch gears to try to stabilize that country
The Pentagon bureaucracy failed to respond quickly enough to the military's need for innovative counterinsurgency operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, Gates said, and he called for reforms to make the institution more agile and flexible.
The military's struggle to adjust to the counterinsurgency mission in Iraq "came at a frightful human, financial and political cost," Gates told an audience of military officers at the National Defense University here. "For every heroic and resourceful innovation by troops and commanders on the battlefield, there was some institutional shortcoming at the Pentagon that they had to overcome," he said.
While having a military skilled in fighting major conventional ground wars is essential, Gates said, such a war is unlikely in the near future. Yet the Pentagon has placed comparatively too much emphasis on developing high-technology weapon systems aimed at potential state adversaries such as China or Russia that take years to develop, he said, noting that the 2009 budget contains more than $180 billion for such conventional systems.
Such weapons often envision a computerized, idealized version of warfare that Gates suggested is unrealistic.
