The second week of Winnipeg High School Football League action kicks of Wednesday with two junior varsity games and a pile of questions still to be answered.

Among them:

Can the Potter Division (AAA) defending champions Vincent Massey Trojans rebound after giving up a 20-0 halftime lead to the St. Paul’s Crusaders in their opener?
Just how good are the Steinbach Sabres and Elmwood Giants in the Vidruk Division (AA) after they won their openers by scores of 42-1 and 39-0, respectively?
Who will separate themselves in an early-season battle of unbeatens when the Portage Trojans play host to the Dryden Eagles in the Currie (A) Division?
