NEWPORT BEACH — Jacqueline Pelletier has only been playing competitive tennis for about a year. Pelletier, a Huntington Beach resident, still has plenty of time to grow as a player. She just turned 12. But her game already appeared to be quite grown at the 20th annual Balboa Bay Club Junior Tournament, where she captured the girls’ 12 singles title Friday with a 4-6, 7-6 (8-6), 6-0 victory over Natalie Penner of Alta Loma. Other locals in finals included Jacqueline’s brother, Beau, who fell in a tough boys’ 10 singles championship match, 7-6, 6-4, to top-seeded Leo Hibi of Irvine.
