BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Ken Faulkner arrived in Buies Creek from South Jersey in the summer of 1966 as a standout guard for Coach Fred McCall's Fighting Camel basketball team. By the time he graduated in 1970, he was not only a four-year starter but also helped lead his teams to back-to-back 20-win seasons and district titles.
Following graduation, Ken returned to his native New Jersey and began a teaching and coaching career. At Burlington Township High School, he built one of the premier programs in the state. In 24 seasons as a head coach, Ken's clubs won 522 games, 11 conference titles, seven South Jersey crowns and three state championships.
He has been inducted into at least five Halls of Fame.
