This is the third in a series of eight articles profiling the 2006 inductees into the Butler Area Sports Hall of Fame.The Butler Area Sports Hall of Fame is fast becoming a Cavalero family reunion.Dave Cavalero will become the sixth member of that family to enter the Hall when he is inducted during the organization's 41st annual banquet April 29 at the Butler Days Inn.Cavalero was a record-setting quarterback at Butler High School from 1965-67 who went on to star for the Pittsburgh Ironmen semi-pro football team. He was a notable basketball player as well."I played during a great era in Butler athletics,"Cavalero said. "That was a wonderful time."Cavalero's brother, Donald "Bones"Cavalero, was inducted in 1994. Their father, Sam Cavalero Sr., was inducted in 1982.A cousin, Butler "Doggie"Cavalero, was inducted in 1967 and his grand-daughter, Lisa Zitalone Olson, gained induction in 1988.Cavalero's brother-in-law, John "Dutch"Leonard, was inducted in 1981."This makes six of us now,"Cavalero said of his induction.And, like the previous five, Dave Cavalero earned his way to enshrinement.He broke Terry Hanratty's passing records at Butler, throwing for nearly 1,000 yards in an era when passing the football in high school was a rarity. During his final two years as the Golden Tornado signal-caller, Cavalero threw for 20 touchdowns and rushed for 10 more."You could see the potential our team had my sophomore year,"Cavalero said. "We lost to Uniontown in the (WPIAL)championship game that year."We lost three conference games in three years and we were geared toward defense more than offense. We had a lot of great athletes."Cavalero played for legendary Butler coach Art Bernardi, whom he praised for "being big on discipline and running a tight ship."We were well-schooled and taught the basics every day. We scouted teams, watched films, received 25-page scouting reports on every opponent. Not many teams did that back then," he added.Also lettering two years in basketball at Butler, Cavalero averaged in double figures his junior year and was named MVPof the Rotary Tournament.He played basketball with the Saints A.C. from 1965-70, a squad consisting of mostly ex-college players."I always thought I was a better basketball player than football player,"Cavalero said. "I was a really good shooter, but I was only 6-foot-1, not 6-6."Cavalero continued to make his mark in football long after high school. He was quarterback for McCook Junior College in 1970 and led the team to a No. 8 JUCOranking.McCook played the University of Nebraska freshman team that year, which featured eventual Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Rodgers."We beat them, too,"Cavalero said. "That's a nice memory."He quarterbacked the semi-pro Pittsburgh Ironmen in 1976 and 1977, winning 23 of 24 games and completing 57 percent of his passes.Cavalero also coached the Butler Cubs basketball team for three years and was an assistant coach for Institute Hill of the Butler Area Midget Football League."What I got out of sports was friendship, mostly,"he said. "I still run around with the guys I played with."Coaches can't yell and scream at kids today — they'll cry and go home. When I played, all of the coaches were teachers. They were around the players all day long."A lot of coaches today aren't on campus with the kids anymore. That makes a big difference,"Cavalero added.
