The Fort Saskatchewan High School Sting returned to the field for their annual fall camp Monday night. Though the team was forced to break for a half-hour as a thunderstorm passed over head, they are focusing on the fundamentals to help the rookie-laden team develop their skills ahead of their first game in early September. This year's fall camp has allowed the 26-man roster more recovery time as they're taking Fridays off, but going hard for two hours Monday through Thursday this week and next. "We're focusing on developing these kids," head coach Jeff Brett said moments before Tuesday's workout began. Second-year Sting player Derek Burling, a former wide receiver and cornerback, was anointed starting quarterback for this season, taking over from Trekk Allan. Burling is an alumni of the Fort Saskatchewan Minor Football program, having played for the Lightning in 2008 before joining the Sting last year.
