Larger screen

At Lakeside, there is a big guy that roams the field for the Lions.  He is an enforcer on the field, and a leader in the classroom.  This week, Taxi Wilson joins the Sylvan A-Team.

Taxi Wilson stands 6-foot, 3 inches tall and weighs 225 pounds. He plays football in the fall, lacrosse in the spring and enjoys the sport of judo all year round. Needless to say, people on the lacrosse field know when they've met the Taxi.

In the classroom, Taxi carries a 3.5 grade point average, and enjoys everything that Lakeside has to offer.

And when it comes to college, Wilson knows exactly what he's looking for.

He is interested in psychology and has applied to all the big universities. He wants to go to college with a reputation for athletic excellence, but rigorous academics, like Lakeside.

He was born Thomas Wilson, but his mom took a fancy to the name Taxi, so that's what he's been dubbed.
