Hawaii on itinerary of ECU's Moore, Whimper

'Once a teammate, always a teammate,' is a slogan that might best describe the intertwined football journeys of East Carolina seniors Chris Moore and Guy Whimper.

The pair played together at Havelock High School, went on to excel at East Carolina and will cap off their college careers by leading a contingent of six Conference USA players into an all-star game in an island paradise.

Moore, a linebacker, and Whimper, an offensive lineman, will be joined in the 2006 Hula Bowl by Memphis quarterback/receiver Maurice Avery, Central Florida receiver Brandon Marshall, Southern Methodist punter Ryan Mentzel and Rice linebacker John Syptak.

The game, which will be played Jan. 21 at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, features 106 players representing 67 different schools. Kickoff for the contest, which will be broadcast by ESPN, is set for 7 p.m. ET.

Moore, Whimper, Avery and Marshall will play for the East squad under Coach Tommy Tuberville of Auburn, while Mentzel and Syptak will suit up for Washington coach Tyrone Willingham's West squad.

The first Hula Bowl All-Star Classic, played on January 5, 1946, marked the beginning of a postseason classic that has launched the professional careers of a long line of football greats.

From staff reports.
