Schools across the Northland Wednesday celebrated National Signing Day. One was Proctor High School, who’s own Nick Terhaar committed to play Division I baseball for the Iowa Hawkeyes.

“Proctor’s not really like a known place for any big athletes or anything, so I think it’s really cool that I was able to develop into one out of Proctor,” Terhaar said. “I think that Proctor, most people think we’re just kind of like a small railroad town, don’t have much, but really we have a really great community here. We all love and care for each other like a family, we’re just all one big family here.”

A junior last year, the 6’3” Terhaar is a two-time captain outfielder and pitcher for Proctor. In the past he has earned All-Section 7AA Team honors and Lake Superior All-Conference 1st Team honors.
