Liam Doxsee, 9, dances for the Iowa softball team before a softball game at Bob Pearl Softball Field in Iowa City on Friday, Sept. 22, 2023. Liam Doxsee said he is grateful for every opportunity he’s been given. “He's always excited when he tries something new but he's also very humble about the experience,” Mary Matheson said. “He's not wanting to brag or over-boast.”
