No. 92 helmet decal honors a beloved teammate The Demons will wear No. 92 helmet decals this season in tribute to the 2011 team’s Defensive Most Valuable Player, Ricky Issac Jr., a Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Deputy who died in an on- duty auto accident in early December. Coach Jay Thomas was Issac’s position coach in 2010 and 2011. A December 2011 Northwestern State graduate, Issac is survived by his wife Akilah, a former Lady Demon basketball player now teaching and coaching at Natchitoches Central High School, and an infant son born this spring. They married prior to Ricky’s senior season. Issac, 24, was a native of Cypress, Texas, and a Newton High School graduate. He helped NHS to an unbeaten state championship season in 2005 as a junior. At Northwestern, he earned four letters and was third on the team as a senior in 2011 with 63 tackles, 31 solo, as a defensive end. He more than doubled his career tackles total as he shared team Defensive MVP honors. Issac was active in the NSU Huddle of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. He went to work at the NPSO soon after graduation in December 2011, and served as the NSU football team’s police escort for the 2012 squad’s last two road trips to Central Arkansas and Stephen F. Austin.
