Sharron Angle told the Reno Gazette-Journal Wednesday that an account of events in a recent story linked to by the L.A. Times is not the ways she remembers them:

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle on Wednesday denied a report in the Pahrump Valley Times alleging she was part of a group that opposed inspirational black football jerseys for the Tonopah High football team on religious purposes when she was running for the Nye County School Board.
During the 1992 school board campaign, the first in Angle’s career, she was part of a group that opposed the black jerseys they saw black “as a color was thoroughly evil…” longtime Nevada newspaperman Bill Roberts wrote in an Aug. 13 column in the Pahrump Valley Times.
Roberts, a registered Democrat and the former editor and owner of the Tonopah Times-Bonanza & Goldfield News, has a son who played middle linebacker for the Muckers that season.
During a news conference in Reno, Angle said she has no recollection of the incident. “Bill Roberts loves Harry (Reid),” said Angle, the winner of the 1992 school board contest. “I will just tell you that Bill Roberts and I have completely different recollection of what happened then,” Angle said.
“That was 20 years ago,” Angle said. “I don’t know what Bill Roberts’ recollections are, and it really doesn’t matter because Nevadans care about their home, their jobs and the economy.”

Roberts told the Gazette-Journal he stands by his story. So far, no others familiar with what went on at Tonopah High School that year have come forward to confirm, edit or deny his account.
