From support for the players to criticisms of the team and how and how they each felt about "4th and Forever" overall, no topic was left undiscussed.

You may think it would be challenging enough coaching a high school team of NFL hopefuls with your son playing quarterback. Now add a full-time graveyard shift as a probation officer to your plate, and you might start wishing for a clone. But Long Beach Polytechnic's Coach Raul Lara makes it look effortless.
The proud family man, coach and Long Beach Poly alum spoke with Current.com's Daniela Capistrano about his experience on the show and how to balance parenting and coaching.
Daniela Capistrano: What do you hope fans of the show learned by watching it?
Coach Raul Lara: I just hope they see that we don’t just harp on wins and losses; we really care about the kids and teaching them life skills. I think that, for the most part, the show reveals that. It shows the sincerity -- that we care about our kids.
DC: Now that the show has ended, how can viewers support Long Beach Poly and the Jackrabbits?
CL: I think there’s several ways to support. Just being there and being positive, that’s one way. Another way is financially. Just contact Starr or myself and making a donation. But there’s all kinds of ways to be supportive.
The most important thing for us is being positive around the kids. They already have so much pressure, there’s no need to put more on them. Whether we have a great or bad season, everyone should continue to be supportive of the programs.You may think it would be challenging enough coaching a high school team of NFL... more

Starr Scott may not be an official member of the Jackrabbits, but she is a team player in every other sense of the word. As the operations manager for the Long Beach Poly football program, she has seen the players through four years of trials, tribulations, and growth. Along the way, she took Dabness Atkins into her home and provided him with the support he needed to succeed.

The biggest Jackrabbits fan and mother of three spoke with Current.com's Daniela Capistrano about how things have changed for her since the show, her plans for the future, and how her relationship with Dabness changed her life.
Daniela Capistrano: What do you hope fans of the show learned by watching it?
Starr Scott: It’s a huge misconception that we have an endless supply of money and sponsors and that we pay for nothing. It’s totally opposite. We really don’t have any sponsorships and NFL players who are alumni don’t give to the program yet.
Marcedes Lewis does host a football camp for youth and is around quite a bit to lend moral support to our players. But for some reason none of our more famous alumni have made the move to financially support the program yet.
Mr. Broadus, aka Snoop Dogg, actually, is the first famous alum who stepped up this year and lent a hand. He lent his influence with Adidas and they have helped quite a bit. So I hope that (from watching the show) people see the need to help support the program.
Poly alumni and fans spread worldwide...I hope the show puts the needs of this program on their hearts.
Aside from money, overall I hope people see that this (program) is not just about X's and O's. It’s about raising kids and helping to be part of the village that raises children to be independent, self-sufficient young men.
We want them to be good people, not just NFL stars, and hopefully we contribute to that success and help shape their lives.
At home there was a lot of discussion, debate, even, at times, confusion and frustration with the recruiting process and the decisions Dabness faced. We often needed to overcome Dabness’ attitude to really get to the meat of this huge decision at times.
I was worried about the last episode where Dabness tells me he’s accepting the Air Force Academy offer, because when we shot it we tweaked it a little bit and I was worried it looked like we just pulled this decision out of our hats when in actuality it was a slow and meticulous...sometimes even hair-pulling process.
Obviously it was a big decision and I am just worried [my reaction] looks too vanilla. It was obviously a big decision for us both.Starr Scott may not be an official member of the Jackrabbits, but she is a team player... more

In the final "4th and Forever" Coach's Huddle, Coach Lara tries to keep the team strong after they suffer a crushing loss. Things didn't go their way, but they're still a family.
"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?

Defensive lineman Devin Jackson had a lot to prove his senior year at Long Beach Poly. Not only did he juggle athletics, academics, and dating, he helped bring extra income to his family by selling Cutco knives door-to-door.
The insightful 18-year-old Air Force hopeful spoke with Current.com's Daniela Capistrano about how things have changed for him since the show, his plans for the future, and what really went down with him and his ex-girlfriend Courtney.
Daniela Capistrano: What do you hope fans of the show learned by watching it?
Devin Jackson: First and foremost, I want people to know that (for me) family is the center of everything. I don't provide for my parents, my parents provide for me. [My job selling knives] was just a small support and that was a temporary situation. I'm not this great guy who went out and sold knives for years. I did do it for my family, but that was extra money that came in.
I was never the sole man of the house. My dad was, and still is, and there is no reason to take credit for anything he's done. He's done so much for me -- teaching me how to be a man and how to help in that way, so I took [that job] in my free time to help make money for my family. Yes, it was at a point, a desperate situation, where we needed the money, but that happens in every family. I'm not better than anyone else, it's just that failure was never an option.

I was travelling to NY for a family vacation last week so I spent a lot of time in an airplane. I used a lot of that time to watch 4th and Forever on the provided televsion.
I was really impressed with the coach and the kids. It was very entertaining, thought provoking.
I don't know the ratings of the show but I am sure they are poor. This is because people want to watch athletes and teenagers make idiots of themselves (per MTV). When you have on a reality TV show of boys trying to become men -- no one is interested.
This show really gives me hope for our future. If you watch MTV, it can be quite depressing considering this is the future. Thank you Current for reminding us about all of the good young people that are out there.
I hope you guys take the time to watch the show which is ending this week. I hope there will be re-runs.I was travelling to NY for a family vacation last week so I spent a lot of time in an... more

Football may be a team game, but in order to win big you need big-time plays from your big-time playmakers.
Thanks to outstanding individual efforts on both sides of the ball, Long Beach Poly got all that and more in last week's episode, claiming three critical wins in league play.
Running back Keltain Malveaux showed off his strength and his speed as he burst through the line and then cut down the sideline for a 60-yard score against Wilson High.

In this "4th and Forever" Friday Night Rewind, Keltain Malveaux puts on a beautiful display of open field running as he gets by the entire Wilson High defense to score in another huge Poly victory.
"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?
