I live in Tennessee and was pulled over for speeding by a state trooper... is there hope in fighting it?

I live in Claiborne County TN and i live off the highway on a back road, and when you first pull out on the highway you are at a big hill. For starters it was a bad day bc I was having an argument with the person in the car with me so this was the icing on the cake but anyways I pulled onto the highway (it was a 2 lane road which merged into 1 at the top) and I sped up so I could climb the hill and so the car behind didnt p me. Once you top the hill it then goes downhill so I began to coast downhill. Coming up the opposite side of the hill was a state trooper. I didn't see her until after I had topped the hill and when I did I slowed down. She U-turned on the hill and pulled me over. I was going 64 in a 55. I have never in my 3 1/2 yrs of driving been pulled over. I expected a warning or something bc I was going downhill and I am a first offender. If I took it to court would it help any?
