To solve for the number of senior boys who play both football and wrestling, we can analyze the given values typically represented in a Venn diagram.

Based on the information provided:

- The number of boys who play only football is typically indicated (let’s say F).
- The number of boys who play only wrestling (let’s say W).
- The number of boys who play both sports (let’s say B).
- The total number of senior boys is usually indicated outside the circles.

The values appear to represent counts associated with the relevant sections of the Venn diagram. However, the description seems incomplete because the structure usually would have sums or totals along with definitions. Here's how you can typically organize it:

Based on this, if we interpret the values:
- Total boys playing football = 18 (only football) + B (both) = Total Footballers
- Total boys playing wrestling = 12 (only wrestling) + B (both) = Total Wrestlers

Given the values, we need to sum them accordingly. But seeing as these numbers do not clearly align with distinct categories for football, wrestling, and both without more contextual information, I cannot derive those subsets accurately.

To find the boys who participate in both, it's important to use the formula of a union counting or a problem statement typically asked.

If you can clarify or present the counts with the methodology previously discussed (i.e., are the 18, 9, 12, and 104 representing particular sections, etc.?), I’d be better equipped to provide a conclusive answer.

Assuming you have actual overlaps presented, retracing to find 'B' or just stating the known overlaps would suffice. Please provide clarity with the numbers associated or diagram details!
