“If I go to a place like that
(OIT), I might not play for a
couple of years,” Ismay said.
“I’d rather just go to Oregon
State where I’m going to
have a lot more of my friends
and people I know go-
ing there and just play right
away.”
Due to Oregon Promise,
Ismay, who was one of 20
valedictorians in McNary’s
2017 Class, can also take
classes at Linn-Benton for
free, before taking engineer-
ing and science courses at
Oregon State.
“I’ve always had an affi nity
for science and math and I’ve
taken some classes like that
in high school that I’ve really
enjoyed so that was one of
the key things I was looking
for was a good engineering
program,” Ismay said.
Ismay, who was voted all-
league First Team, led the
Celtics in points (13.5), as-
sists (4.6) and rebounds (5.1)
last season.
His favorite memories
on the basketball court were
when McNary cut down the
nets after winning league his
sophomore season and then
a 61-47 win at home against
West Salem on senior night.
“I’ve always had a ton of
great teammates over the
years and I’ve been able to
play on a lot of good teams,”
Ismay said.
“There’s just a lot of big
games and it was always fun
to play in that environment.”
