• Current TV kicks off a nine-episode documentary series “4th and Forever” (8 p.m., Current), following the real life sports drama at Long Beach Polytechnic High, an institution recognized by “Sports Illustrated” and other experts for putting more students into the NFL than any other. As on “Friday Night Lights,” the stakes at each football game could not be higher, and the star of the series is the coach, Raul Lara, an inspiration to his players, who have won more than 100 games in his nine seasons at Long Beach.

In addition to its many former students in the NFL, the school has also graduated major league baseball stars including the Phillies’ Chase Utley and the Mariners’ Milton Bradley. The school’s most famous athletic alumnus just may be tennis pioneer Billie Jean King.
