Hall of Fame
Ken Faulkner was inducted into the Campbell Athletics Hall of Fame in 1999. A guard on some of Campbell's finest basketball teams in the late 1960s, Faulkner went on to become one of the greatest coaches in New Jersey high school basketball history.
Faulkner was a four-year starter for Coach Fred McCall's and Coach Danny Roberts' Fighting Camels. During his junior and senior years, he helped the club to back-to-back 20-win seasons and NAIA District 29 championships.
In 1970, the Camels won 24 games and advanced to the NAIA National Tournament.
Following graduation in 1970, Faulkner returned to his native New Jersey and began a teaching and coaching career. He was named varsity boys basketball coach at Burlington Township High School and went on to build one of the premier programs in the state. In 24 seasons as a head coach, Faulkner's clubs won 522 games, 11 conference titles, seven South Jersey crowns and three state championships. His 1987 team posted a 31-0 record and is still considered one of the greatest teams in South Jersey basketball history.
Faulkner received numerous honors during his career. He was inducted into the Riverside High School, South Jersey Coaches, New Jersey Coaches and Basketball Club of South Jersey Halls of Fame. He was also presented the New Jersey Interscholastic Coaches Association's Honor Award.
Faulkner, who retired from coaching in 1996, later served in the New Jersey General Assembly.
