na apparently not. you are not making a team like catholic, west monroe, barbe, jesuit etc etc by playing aa ball. aa ball here is not good after age 10. gets really bad after 12, like really bad. the majors kids will be throwing 58-65 at 10, 60-70 at 11u, 68-75 at 12, 75+ at 13 where the AA kids may still be throwing 55 or below at 12u

So I take it your belief is that HS ball in LA is just on another level than OK. Owasso, Carl Albert, Deer Creek, Bixby, etc routinely go out of state and compete and are plenty successful.

Most of the guys on those teams were Majors and AAA players but not all. There are a good number of AA who do too. Also, being on a AA team doesn't preclude you from playing against AAA and Majors teams, just mainly precludes you from winning at a high clip.
