ByCamInman BayAreaNewsGroup SANTA CLARA RightguardAlex Boone says he's capable of playing "very" effectively if coaches have him start Sunday's season opener against the host Dallas Cowboys. Boone called his return to the 49ers a "win-win" Tuesday after ending a contract holdout that ran from April through the exhi- bition season. "I knew eventually we would come together and get something done," Boone said. "At first, it was just kind of stalemated because you have two hard stances going against each other." The 49ers reworked the final two years of Boone's contract, whereas he'll make at least $6 million over the next two years instead of $3.2 million. Colin Kae- pernick helped expedite the deal by approaching 49ers manage- ment after the third exhibition game, according to Bleacher Re- port's Jason Cole. Right tackle Anthony Davis was impressed by how Boone looked and said they'll "pick up where they left off," having started next to each other since 2012. "We just had lunch together," Davis added. "I ate a salad.

Harbaugh made his comments and maintained a firm stance about the topic during his radio segment on KNBR-AM, two days after 49ers defensive tackle Ray McDonald was arrested on felony domestic violence charges. "You ask me how I feel about domestic violence. I can be very clear about that," Harbaugh said during the radio segment. "If someone physically abuses a woman and/or physically or men- tally abuses or hurts a child, then there's no understanding. There's no tolerance for that." McDonald, 30, is out on $25,000 bail following his arrest at his San Jose home early Sunday where he was celebrating his birthday with teammates and friends. 49ERS Harbaugh won't tolerate domestic violence Latesummerisfigseason, and perfect, ripe, black Mis- sion figs are available at Khaki Farms stall at the Farmers Market; fresh Brown Turkey figs at Al Vogel's.

YOUR DAILY BREAK Fun and games inside today SEE PAGE B3 By Josh Dubow The Associated Press ALAMEDA Derek Carr has been groomed to be a starting quar- terback in the NFL ever since he was an 11-year-old breaking down film with big brother Da- vid. It may come as a bit of a sur- prise that he will reach that goal in the first game of his rookie season. Carr used an impressive pre- season to put himself on the fast track to becoming an NFL starter, beating out Matt Schaub for the No. 1 quarterback role on the Oakland Raiders head- ing into the season opener Sun- day against the New York Jets. But having watched his brother go from No. 1 overall pick and rookie starter to being run out of Houston, Derek Carr knows well to heed the advice from offensive coordinator Greg Olson that getting the opening day start is just the beginning. "As Coach Olie says, 'Don't let this moment be your best mo- ment as an NFL moment,"' Carr said. "Just being told you're a starting quarterback and then everything else is downhill after that.Wewanttomakemoregreat moments but it was definitely a great thing. It definitely was." Carr joins his older brother, David, as rookies to start in the season opener. According to STATS, they are the only broth- ers to do that since at least 1950. David won his debut for the ex- pansion Houston Texans against Dallas in 2002 but never devel- oped into the quarterback the Texans were hoping for when they picked him first overall. Derek Carr, a second-round pick out of Fresno State in May, looks to have more success as he becomes the 18th starting quar- terback for the Raiders since the start of the 2003 season. Carr played well in the pre- season, completing 66.7 per- cent of his passes with four touchdowns, one interception and a 108.2 passer rating. He showed the strong arm needed to stretch the field, complet- ing 11 of 18 passes more than 10 yards downfield for 234 yards, three touchdowns and no inter- ceptions. He sealed the starting job when he threw three TD passes in the exhibition finale against Seattle last week. "I really wasn't thinking about being the starter, being the backup," Carr said. "I was really focused on learning the offense the best that I could so that way, when I got out on the field, whenever that time was, I could help this team win. Be- cause that's all I care about, the Raiders winning." In an odd bit of coincidence, it was Schaub who replaced Da- vid Carr as starter in Houston in 2007, ending a disappoint- ing tenure with the Texans that began when David Carr was picked first overall in 2002 to be the cornerstone of the expan- sion franchise.

By Joseph Shufelberger jshufelberger@chicoer.com @JShufelberger on Twitter A partial schedule for Week Zero was enough for complete agreement on the No. 1 team in every division of the Northern Section Prep Football Media Poll. All five top teams were unan- imous selections with Enterprise in Division II, Sutter in D-III, Winters in D-IV, Fall River in D-V and Redding Christian in D-VI in the rankings released today. Three of the teams, Enterprise, Winters and Fall River, kick off their seasons Friday in Week 1 after not playing Week Zero. The others began with big wins Sat- urday as Sutter went to El Cer- rito and won 49-14, and Redding Christian beat Mercy 53-20 at home. Enterprise and Winters were already unanimous choices in the preseason poll. Sutter was one vote shy but its convincing victory got the remaining top choice in the poll that is voted on by me- dia members from the Chico En- terprise-Record, Marysville Ap- peal-Democrat, Redding Record Searchlight, Action News Now, KRCR-TV, KCNR 1460 AM and MaxPreps. First-place votes are worth five points, second-place votes are worth four and so on. The top division saw no change in the top five as after Enterprise was Paradise, which remained second with 42 points after a 63-16 rout at American Canyon. Chico stayed at third with 35 points after rallying late for a 31- 28 victory at Roseville. Pleasant Valley also pulled out a win late, stunning visiting Yuba City 21-16 with a 40-yard touchdown pass with 15 seconds left. The Vikings have 17 points, and Red Bluff is fifth with 13.5 points after open- ing with a 40-8 win at Central Valley, which was the lone team to fall out of the Division III rank- ings. After No. 1 Sutter, West Valley, a 23-15 winner over Foothill, was still second with 40 points in D- III. Orland stayed in third after a 42-0 win against Durham, a D-IV foe, and Lassen, a 33-7 win- ner over Galena of Nevada, was fourth again. Corning, which was idle, took CV's spot in fifth with 11 points. The Division IV top five saw more change as Hamilton, which was tied for second behind Win- ters, hosted and beat then-No. 5 Colusa 40-26 last week, and Dur- ham, the other No. 2 team fell to upper-division foe Orland 42-0. Hamilton received every second- place vote but one for 43 points. Trinity, a 44-0 winner over Weed, moved up one spot to third (24), and Durham ended up fourth (14), and idle Willows cracked the rankings at fifth with 12 points. In D-V, Fall River and Maxwell, both idle, stayed first and second, respectively and Maxwell, like Fall River, was a unanimous se- lection but for second place. Mo- doc, which won 20-12 at then-No. 4 Chester, went from unranked to third with 24 points. Biggs also was idle and fell to fourth (20) af- ter a third-place preseason rank- ing, and Portola (13) remained fifth after beating Incline, Nev., 47-45. Division VI, or eight-man foot- ball, saw the most change. Princ- eton, which was unranked, went to second-ranked Dunsmuir and beat the Tigers 50-20 by outscor- ing them 30-0 in the second half. The Eagles, who have 24 players on their roster, a large amount for the division, went from unranked to nearly second. They finished with 35 points, one behind new No. 2 Hayfork (36).
