Papa

 

Coach Tyler Papa graduated from Texas State University in 2017. His days are usually spent just next door at Four Points, where he teaches 6th grade and coaches boys athletics. Coach Papa was also a wrestler back in high school at Vista Ridge (we forgive him for that). In 2026, he began helping out with Viper Wrestling as an additional coach in the corner at tournaments and occasionally as the team bus driver! He is excited to be part of the Viper Wrestling family and looks forward to helping the team have another great season.
